Find a "WHOIS" server on the web.
Tell it you want to use the server at whois.arin.net. Give it the numeric address. Read the answer carefully.
ARIN may send you to one of the other authorities (RIPE does Europe, LACNIC does Latin America, APNIC does Asia-Pacific including Australia).
If it's an address that looks like 172.16.xx.xx or 192.168.xx.xx or 10.xx.xx.xx, the call is coming from inside the house. Seriously -- those addresses are for local use only; that's only one of the pitfalls you might encounter. I don't know how you captured the address you are about to look up, so you should proceed with caution. Nothing sucks more than accusing an innocent bystander.

LOL
The other night, I was sittin' around watchin' scary movies when all of a sudden, the phone rang. I picked up the phone and a voice said, "I, I buddudda ohhhhhhhhh ........." and I said, "Who is this?" and they hung up.
Not long after, the phone rang again, and I picked it up and a voice said, "Hey did you bowannnnnna hooba snaaaaahhhhhhh!" and then they hung up. Well this time, I was thinkin', "Boy oh boy, am I ever frightened!" So I called the operator and I said, "Um, could you please very kindly trace this next call and call me back and tell me who's callin' me?" and the operator said, "Please deposit 25 cents," and I said, "Are you nuts?"
The phone rang again, and sure enough the voice said, "Beedah whoaoooooo I gotta!" and he hung up, and just then the operator called and said, "The last call came from your house!" And I said, "Somebody's in the house, oh no!!!!!!!!" and then the operator said, "Oh, wait, I, I'm sorry, I was, uh, looking at your number. The call actually came from the old crazy house down the road." And th- then I said, "Oh, that's just crazy John. I wonder what he wanted.
