Question

Somebody of play station network said they are going to grab my IP address and come beat me up can they find out where I live? Answer truthfully please.

Answer 1

You can get the ISP (e.g. Comcast) name and a general area someone lives from an IP address.



You cannot get an exact address unless the ISP provided it to them, which they do not do for the public, but they would do for the police (as an example).

Answer 2

Yes they can.



IP addresses can be either static or dynamic. Static IP addresses never change. They serve as a permanent Internet address and provide a simple and reliable way for remote computers to contact you. Static IP addresses reveal such information as the continent, country, region, and city in which a computer is located; the ISP (Internet Service Provider) that services that particular computer; and such technical information as the precise latitude and longitude of the country, as well as the locale, of the computer.
