My ISP, who can find out what?
Forgive me if I've posted in the wrong section or infact the wrong forum entirely and please move to the correct place or appropriate.
How easy is it for someone to find your ISP? I know if you log into a site the site owner can track your ISP if they so wish, but could they then find out your ISP from a different site that they only belong to as a member and have no ownership of, or if they find your email address could they trace the ISP that way, even if you've never emailed or contacted them?
Also if you have one email account with various mailboxes attached can someone trace back from an email address you've used and track down your other email addresses linked to the account?
Hopefully this makes sense

Hi Tabby welcome to VDR
Everthing thats conencted has an IP address and it works much like a home mail box it gives an address for the data [small packets] to be transmitted to where its reassembled into its origional form.Many places like forums log the IP address of people who connect i.e. 92.232.xxx.xx. The host name is: 92-232-xxx-xx.cable.ubr03.sutt.blueyonder.co.uk.
Email addresses provided they are not spoofed are usually traceable back to the ISP provider.If you look at the header of an eamil you will usually see the route it took from sender to the reciever.

Im not sure what information your after here members are not normally given acess to such information.As to email addresses it depends wheather the ones in question have been published on the web somewhere i.e. personal homepage.

Not very likely unless there's a link to/between them on some website that's available for public viewing. Otherwise if they're from the same domain (eg- your ISP, hotmail, yahoo, etc) then someone would need a legal order to find out any details or data linking them to the owner.
If they're from a different domain (eg- one hotmail, one yahoo etc) then it would be very difficult and time consuming even with a subpeona to get the info.
One can always surf anonymously if one wants to...
eg- http://www.megaproxy.com/freesurf/
http://www.google.com/search?q=anonymous+surfing
But it removes some functionality from some websites and is usually slow.

I have another ISP related question if I can ask it.
I have my Virgin email which allows me to follow the path an email has taken really no problem, but I also have a hotmail live one and gmail too and I can't find an option to be able to do this on these accounts, does anyone know if you can do this with them too or is it because they're pretty annoymous accounts with thousands of users and free that you don't get that option?

Most webmail sites (maybe all) won't allow using those types of proxies for legal reasons. If you could use them to remain anonymous then so could spammers and any other bad guy.
You might be able to find a non commercial surfing proxy to access webmail sites but it would take a fair bit of experimenting and will be time consuming if it even works.
Proxies...
http://proxy-list.org/en/index.php
You'd need to enter each proxy (and associated port) into the proper browser option window and then test it to see if it works.
There's no need to download anything to your computer.
Try this proxy...
http://proxify.com/
and see if it will go to the site that needs cookies. (I'm sure hotmail won't allow it though)

An alternative is to use a portable browser like Firefox or Opera.As all files like cookies etc are stored within the portable browser folders itself none will get stored to your PCs browser.
