this has been posted here before. But this is a software that lets you plug in an ip# which will then trace it for you showing where it originates. When your firewall shows a hit, you can find out where it came from.

It is called : SmartWhois
You can download it from here;

Check this one out:

TRACE.BAT is an MS-DOS batch process which uses standard network query utilities to work up a handy report on a given Internet address. It does so automatically and fairly quickly, in a simple format and in a logical sequence. It provides a report in plain text which it opens in Notepad when done. It gives some screen feedback while in process.

All the user needs is one of the following: an IP address, a hostname, an email address or a URL.

Because the Tracer performs extended domain registration lookups, encompassing the shared .COM, .NET and .ORG registries and more than 70 countries, it is a sort of super-WHOIS utility.
