What IP is the googlebot in?

[Mijae]

I have had 66.196. IP numbers at my forums for 3 days now, usually 20-40 guests. Can that be google or some search engine spider?

4 days now, and they are still there! Now up to 60 guests at all time.

Depending on the size of your site it may take a while for them to finish spidering you. Mine has nearly 210k and it took about 30-50 spiders to finish.

I have only 2900 members and 52k posts, but it took them 4 days to leave. They are gone now, lets hope they spidered all of it :)

There is an option in the admin control panel that says "resolve IPs" under who's online. That will tell you where the spiders are coming from if you turn that on.
