Need your help, with Philiphine ip 121.54.110.74

[DN BROKER]

I have done some investigation on ip 121.54.110.74, and found 6 active members on my forum linked to the same ip. I asked one member about it and she claims, in their country they use one ip for the whole nation.. is this true? can someone help out.. please and thank you

121.54.110.74 is this the only IP for the country PHILIPHINES

I highly doubt 1 IP address would be used for an entire country..

I'm not from the Philippines but if it's any help, that IP belongs to Smart Broadband Inc. Wireless Broadband Access, located in Makati City in the Philippines. They own the address block from 121.54.0.0 to 121.54.127.255.

Ther final output from a traceroute looks like this:
15 274 ms 273 ms 274 ms 58.71.0.82
16 274 ms 273 ms 273 ms 124.83.5.54.pldt.net [124.83.5.54]
17 273 ms 275 ms 272 ms 203.111.226.14
18 302 ms 299 ms 300 ms 203.111.239.206
19 299 ms 299 ms 300 ms 203.111.239.205
20 301 ms 300 ms 301 ms 121.1.3.149

22 307 ms 307 ms 313 ms 121.54.110.74

There's two notable fields about this string. One is that most of the IPs do not have DNS. The second is that some of the IPs are nearly identical and on the same router subnet.

By putting both those pieces of information together I would venture to guess the user is right, sort of. They are all probably in a small, managed region and share one IP. This region could be a large office building, a town or even a small city depending on bandwidth. Even better, some free wireless or free dialup services can make everyone look like they are from one IP.

That doesn't mean that they aren't all one person, but it's possible that they aren't totally lying either.

thank you for the detailed response . So I reviewed the post that the users have made and most sound like one person. On top of that, one of the accounts agreed she was cheating. The strange part about it is, even though one account pleaded guilty. She comes back with more accounts and starts to post again with the same attitude and post method.... I have no choice but to ban the ips... i did a search on the ip address on google, and the results show the IPs are all listed in BAN IPS on various forums.

I'm from the Philippines.

And yes, We use just one IP. depends on the Internet Service Provider.
When I look up my IP, It says I'm from Quezon. But I'm not.

I have different a IP address . maybe the one with the 121.54.110.74 is under another internet service provider. i think

 

[DN BROKER]

well, so far... i can point out all 8 accounts to one ip... and they all sound like the same person.. She is one big lier. She is not smart about cheating as well... she continues to post under various accounts the same stuff she talks about on all other accounts...

thanks for your help.. from the search results... 121.54.110.74 is a black listed ip.

Maybe its an IP from a Cyber Cafe where anyone can use the same computer, or a school computer, and the likes.

 

[DN BROKER]

internet cafe or not, the evidence point to a cheater!

I really don't think they use only one IP address in the Philippines. :D I have a community with some Filipino members in it and they have different IP addresses all belonging to Philippines.

It's a good thing that you banned the person since they were probably trying to outsmart you or something.

Thank you for the information... like i mentioned... this person was trying to collect winnings for 8 accounts.... after 2 weeks of investigation.... it all points to a cheater and a scammer....

my isp uses 255 ip addresses (according to whois.sc/ but I doubt it, maybe in one province) but sad to say mine is not a static ip so if someone abuses someone the isp can't track who it is, and if the blocked ip became mine, i all i have to do is restart my modem several times and then i get a new ip.

that ip alone you've mentioned belongs to an isp that uses 255 ip's so i doubt the person in question uses only 1
inetnum: 121.54.0.0 - 121.54.127.255

you can only have static ip address here if you pay more and get the business package otherwise you can only share the ip address with someone else hence it's open to abuse.

Thank you very much for the support everyone.
