IP Addresses : List Sought, Country/Entity Indentification

  • I am a newbie seeking to better understand the workings of the Internet. I have searched in vain for a list that breaks down IP address ranges by country and/or Hosts. What I would like is a list of all top level IP adresses (forgive me if I am clueless on terminology) so, 68.1.1.1 is Cox, based in USA, 191.1.1.1 is assigned to IANA, 220.1.1.1 is out of Japan, etc. An aquaintance has told me that for about $50 you can buy this information, I suppose I'm hoping someone out there knows where the free list is and save me from having to spend 3 hours of time doing it by hand on Samspade.org


  • Take a look at this: http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country Go to CSV format and download the file. You may have problems opening the complete file in excel format, So try what I did and open it in Word. When downloaded, open winzip. Right click the icon and select "open with". Choose Microsoft Office Word. This will open the entire file. If you have any problems, please let me know. Let me know if this suffices as an answer to your question. Best regards, Rainbow


  • Rainbow, this is better, yet what I am really interested in is which ISP's control what blocks of IP's, e.g. 4.x.x.x. is Level 3, 68. x.x.x is Cox. I am most interested in US ISP's, so limit your attention there please. In the meanwhile, I'll figure out how to send partial payment to both you and bobbie, since you've both assisted me with this so far.


  • Bobbie7- thanks for the Request for Clarification. What you provided is interesting, and more comprehensive than I expected but sadly, not what i was hoping for. I suppose I'd like to know what ISP owns what range, where possible, also, for example, take the Address 71.250.141.47 this is a Verizon IP http://samspade.org/t/ipwhois?a=71.250.141.47 yet the csv file does not (at least as far as I can see) even have entries for the 70.x.x.x. IP range. Same goes for IP addreseses in the 4.1.1.1 block (Level 3) no record of this in the CSV. Might you be able to find me something that is more comprehensive in terms of what IP range is controlled by which ISP (If you could focus on US ISP's, I'd be happy and more than willing to pay you)


  • Thank you for your clarification. I will resume my search and if find anything better I'll post it here.


  • Hi Charlenep! Take a look at the IP-to-Country Handbook. http://ip-to-country.webhosting.info/node/view/5 Please let me know in the clarification box if the IP-to-Country Handbook meets your needs. THanks, Bobbie7
