Question : Finding out domain name of an IP address listing

Hi. Thanks in advance for your response. I have recently setup a site tracking service for my website and I notice that I receive a lot of hits from a particular domain, but for each one I get this in the IP Address field.

IP Address   146.82.36.# (Various Registries)
The domain name field says "unknown."

I am just curious to find out if there is a way to find out which domain my visitors are visiting from based on that little amount of information as well as the time of the hit. Thanks for your help.

Europe - Ripe (Whois) Database - IP Search
http://www.ripe.net/perl/whois

The RIPE Network Management Database (the RIPE Database) contains information about

Allocations and assignments of IP address space
Internet routing
Reverse DNS
Related objects.

The data is put into the database by those who operate IP networks
within the RIPE region. The RIPE NCC supports the operation of the
RIPE Database, but it is not responsible for its contents.

The data is accessible by a whois service (whois.ripe.net).  Thus, the RIPE
Database is sometimes called the RIPE Whois Database.
