This IP address was in an email posing as if it was from LinkedIn! And, it is from Poland! It said I had two messages.... I'm not even part of LinkedIn! Here is their "email address": "LinkedIn Reminders" <reminders-noreply@noreply-linkedin.com> Beware!!!
I have been recieving messages supposidly from facebook and linkedin which on mouse over. point to this IP address. The hidden directory symbol tells me that the webmaster cannot see it. a VIRIS is contained in the directory. Some one is hacking or using this address to proporgate a virus and frankly, I've had enough. I will be DOS flooding any more of these e-mails that point to a rogue server or a server that is NOT listed in the searches. If I can't find who owns it, I DOS flood it with 1000 threads for 24 hours. They might get the message

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.
