I think that, if you're somewhat lucky, traceroute or tracepath may tell you. If you're on Windows, I think the tool is trcroute.exe, I can't remember.

By looking at some of the last IP addresses reached, you may be able to determine the hosting site. Again, if you're lucky ;-) Usually the router at an ISP is owned by that ISP, so if the site is behind the router, you may be able to see its name and figure it out. In PM's case, the router at 192.168.1.191 doesn't seem to be named, so it's hard to tell, but pair.com does give PM an alternate name that makes it quite obvious ;-)
