I recommend this page: http://www.arin.net/whois/

Paste in an IP address, it'll tell you what organization the network
belongs to.

It can also be useful to do a reverse DNS lookup; on Unix you'd do this
with the "host" or "nslookup" command... on at least some verions of
Windows you can run "nslookup" from a command prompt.
