Well, this is nice and new:

Thanks - sounds great. Evidently not for me though - in common with any of my RIPE queries it tells me I haven't asked the right question. Stalled at the base of the learning curve.

[cwg]

Just use the IP address?

[Farelf]

That's what I thought but

Error:

The search term you entered did not identify any object that can reference abuse contacts. Please try again.

- that's with a speakeasy.net (Chicago) IP address entered. Same with a rogers.com (Toronto) one etc., etc. It just hates me. Maybe I need to come in on a US proxy or something. I have IPNetInfo to get the data so it doesn't matter.

[cwg]

Oh, no, that's strictly for IP's in the RIPE system, won't work for the rest of the world.

Ah, right, Réseaux IP Européens, got you, thanks - successful query seen.
