I was have network connection issues when I checked my ip address it was listed as: 169.254.198.138 My network is firewalled at 2 places. The first router has a 192.168.x connection, then through my ISP it is supposed to be running internally on a 10.x address. Both my MAC OSX Mavericks and my PC Win 7 were both listed as: Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.198.138(Preferred) Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0

DNSBL* - is a list of IP addresses published through the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) either as a zone file that can be used by DNS server software, or as a live DNS zone that can be queried in real-time. DNSBLs are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming; most mail server software can be configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from a site listed on one or more such lists.
WHOIS** - is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system number. WHOIS lookups were traditionally performed with a command line interface application, and network administrators predominantly still use this method, but many simplified web-based tools exist. WHOIS services are typically communicated using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Servers listen to requests on the well-known port number 43.
** Approximate Geographic Location - This is NOT the exact geographical location of the person/organization with the given IP address. However, this should still give you a good idea about the area/region where this person/orgranization is located.
