said by cdru:Punching in the IP address and choosing whois will give you the domain the IP's reverse DNS indicates. Instead of whois select network lookup and it will give who "owns" the IP address.
Yes, quite so.

They're related but a DNS lookup is not quite the same as a WHOIS lookup.
If you only care about WHOIS information, another handy website that works for a lot of the country-code and one-off TLDs (where other sites fail) is: »
whois.domaintools.com/Back to network-tools.com, you can do simple DNS lookups like many sites let you do, but the power is in the link for 'Advanced Tool' to the right of DNS Records. Here you can specify certain name servers or record types, etc. For example you can compare your ISP's DNS with one of the free resolvers like Google or OpenDNS.
