First let's look at nslookup:

Now let's look at the last few lines of the traceroute:

> 19  191.ATM6-0.GW1.TOR3.ALTER.NET (152.63.129.237)  102.542 ms  103.377 ms  102.

Well, looks like they block pings, but we can still do an nslookup on
the IP#:

[jl@joshua ez-access]$ nslookup 204.92.65.206
Server:  joshua.ez-access.com
Address:  216.116.124.170

*** joshua.ez-access.com can't find 204.92.65.206: Server failed
[jl@joshua ez-access]$

Whoops... no we can't; they don't bother to run it on the server it's
delegated to <frown>.

They're hiding.

Yes, it's possible to find out who owns the IP#; I leave that exercise
to you if you're really that curious.
