    Someone has been trying to get into my account and just wondering if any one knew sites available to track the IP's location?

    DHCP addresses?

    The DHCP doesn't need an address, when you connect to a network and you don't have an IP yet, you send out something called "DHCP discover" which is not addressed to any spesific computer. The DHCP server picks up these requests.

    The DHCP is responsible for assigning IP addresses to whoever request one (and tell them what gateway and DNS to use).

    The ISP doesn't "track" you in any way though DHCP.

    Edit: also.. Don't say "NIC card"... Unless you mean Network Interface Card Card

    It assigns it to a tcp port, which couldn't be there if not for layer two (NIC) connectivity to the ISP, i.e. "cable modem", "dsl modem", etc.

    This is how they track your ass if you download kiddie porn.

    Seriously... The stuff you say makes me think you know what to say, you just don't understand exactly what you are saying.

    Isn't all hardware layer one? including network adapters? I might be wrong, it's been so long since I learned that stuff.

    The DHCP doesn't use TCP/IP, and for a very obv reason. The client who needs to talk to the DHCP doesnt have an IP address yet (most of the time)... sooooo... No it doesn't run on any TCP port.

    Anyway.. Why the fuck are we discussing this?
