Is there any way then when I submit a form that my I.P. address goes along with the form?

In turn, can my I.P. Address be used to find out details, say, my name?

This is rather important.


Thanks.

Lol, it gives various admin contact addresses, but none of them are my home address. Scary that the account holder's name is there though!

Ah I read your IPs address.

Panic over.

Where does it have my address? I can only see the name of the account holder.

Jesus Christ it gives your address and stuff.

It depends. If you have 8 or more IP addresses, your ISP is required by law to publish your name with the WHOIS lookup of your IP address.

For example, try a lookup of my home IP address: 82dot68dot64dot225

Your IP Address goes along with any HTTP request you make, be it for a web page in your browser's address bar, clicking on a link or submitting a form. Otherwise, the web server wouldn't know where to send the response. It's how the web works.

In it's basic form, no. The IP will refer simply to the computer to which it has been assigned. If, however, you download a virus or are a victim of hacking, then it may be possible to steal any information that is stored on the computer.

It is also possible to trace people via IP addresses, but only if the big wigs like your ISP and BT are willing to cooperate.
