Is there any software that will trace an IP area? I use telnet to find the IP number of a website or email when required, but often the trace “times out”. Is there a site or any software that actually tells the site area, meaning if I have the IP number of an email for example, is there any way to locate where it originated without using trace route?

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

NS-Batch. I also own Neo Trace Pro, but the possible “downside” to that is that they were recently bought by McAfee, so there will be folks who shudder right away. If you want to go look, you can find some words about NeoWorx Products here.
