>Subject: how do I decode 157.55.85.212 to a url?
I don't think it is actually routed anywhere, but it's part
of a block that belongs to Microsoft according to the ARIN

Doing a reverse nslookup may work, *if* they've got a PTR record and
they haven't chosen to purposefully put wrong information in the PTR record.
A traceroute may sometimes give useful results if the IP address
is actually in the routing tables. If it's not in the routing tables, you
may as well pop Elvis into the 8-track and listen to "Return to Sender."
