Why does Google say my IP address is someone else's in the Google Phone Book?
When I put my IP address in the Google search box, up pops up the Google Phone book at the top of the page listing someone else's name, address, and phone number? What a creepy feeling this gives me! This person is on the other end of the continent from me. I then looked up this person's name in Google Search and up came a technical page with ta message from this person explaining about capturing an IP address of a visitor. OK - so why does Google think my IP address is this other persons? It worries me.

When I just put my IP address into Google, I got an ordinary page of Google searches, with no Google Phone Book reference at all. There is no master list of IP addresses and names, addresses and phone numbers on the Internet because such a cross reference does not exist, however, anyone can mention any IP address in conjunction with their information, or even submit it to Google for a Phone Book, without it being true.
Don't believe everything you read on the Web.
