Let's cut to the chase geeks, here is a food for thought.Read it, digest it and voila, you are officially an IP xpert. Seriously though, this Alieu Keita guy can chose to be a complete 1D10t or simply voice out his opinion and not making a complete fool of himself. What if we found who this guy is, then what? Extradite him? See there are more important things to tackle right now and so let's remain vigilant and put our eyes on the price baby! Let's not geek out on our fellow comrades. Dirimo Yahya Jammeh must go as my fellow comrade, Mr Conteh-Jasseh, would say. Remember, brain cells don't regenerate, use them wisely. Argue with a fool and you become a FOOL , KAPUT!

[ Trace this!] From: Mohinder Bains <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: IP tracing To: [log in to unmask] Date: Feb 06, 2001 Yes Elow Wole, I can see how Proxy servers and firewalls fit into matter of IP tracing. Proxy servers and Firewalls sit between an intranet /extranet and the www. They are used mostly for protection and unauthorised access. Remember that in order to be able to send an email an IP address must be obtained for both the originating and destination machine, and the email routed through a gateway (Router), which uses protocols such as RIP, EIGRP,IGRP, OSPF etc in addition to details held on its routing table. These are routing protocols which dictate how and where to send the informatioon. The proxy server on the other hand accommodates routable protocols that defined how the data is formatted. My contention is that, because of the myriads of other overheads included, in the delivery of data, there are simple tools readily available, which one can use to trace the origin of an email back to the gateway and consequently to the machine. However, this in no way reveals the identity of the sender but only where the email came from. In addition, if one is hiding behind a proxy server, the client machine must have a way of identifying itself to the server, mainly through its NIC number. The server too must use a router ( which would have a unique Ip address for identifying the network) to facilitate the sending of the email. I hope I have clarify the point I was trying to make. I would like to add that Alieu Keita can express his opinion as much as he likes as the G-List is here for everyone. It would be nice if he can extol President Yaya Jammeh's achievement since 1994, rather than using rhetoric and threats on people.
