whois utility

[John Ratliff]

I have a FreeBSD 9.2 server and I’m trying to use whois on an IP address, but it tells me my query terms are ambiguous, gives me two results, but gives me no details on the results. How can I get the detail for these response?

Ex:

$ whois 68.68.90.0

#
# Query terms are ambiguous.  The query is assumed to be:
#     "n 68.68.90.0"
#
# Use "?" to get help.
#

#
# The following results may also be obtained via:
# http://whois.arin.net/rest/nets;q=68.68.90.0?showDetails=true&showARIN=false&ext=netref2

Smithville Digital, LLC SDL-BLK-4 (NET-68-68-80-0-1) 68.68.80.0 - 68.68.95.255
BG Telecom Holdings, LLC SDL-BGTEL-BLK-1 (NET-68-68-90-0-1) 68.68.90.0 - 68.68.91.255

I want the information contained within the BG Telecom Holdings result. How can I get whois to display this? On my Linux servers, whois shows the full results for both entries, so I can at least scroll through.

Thanks.
