Resolving an IP address with no reverse DNS lookup

I regularly check on the ip addresses of visitors to my site and then use a reverse DNS tool to resolve the name of the site who visited. I am surprised at the number of bots and other visitors (China and Eastern Europe) that regularly visit me, I expect they are searching for email addresses...tough guys, never have had any on the site.

I also get a lot that return "no reverse lookup" . Is there some way of finding out some idea of who they are? Can you type the ip address in the address bar of the browser and have it take you there? eg. "192.168.43.56" or http://192.168.43.56 or some other syntax?

Thanks
