You can use this website http://www.checkyourlinkpopularity.com/check-competitor-pages/ it is one of the best website to check your competitors backlinks.
SEO Spyglass is a tool that lets you check site backlinks that are indexed in google among other things. It also shows backlinks that are indexed in Blekko, Yahoo, and other databases.
You can now use Bing to do this via their webmaster tools system. There is an article on SEO Book about it where Aaron Wall interviews Bing's Duane Forrester. http://www.seobook.com/bing-offers-free-link-graph Alternatively you can use Open Site Explorer from SEOmoz.
I think google does not provide any tool for that. But you can use other tools for analyze the backlink.

Well, you cannot use Google for analyzing backlinks of your competitors. Reason? Google’s link command does not display all the backlinks. On the other hand, you cannot check backlinks using Google webmaster tools because you need authentication link of the website for that matter. which means you have to use some third party tool.
First, IPs have no bearing on search engine rankings, forget about all that nonsense. It was made up by dubious hosting companies to part naive webmasters from their money. Secondly, SERP rankings are not based on the number of backlinks, but on the total relevancy score of the web page for the searched keyword. Backlinks do indeed influence relevancy scores, however they carry different weight based on PR and trust. Site-wide links do carry weight, but since they share a common set of inbound links there is only so much PR passed due to the limited diversity in backlink graph. That limitation of backlink sources has nothing to do with IP addresses, and everything to do with lack of diversity in the backlink graph. If a competitor has a diverse backlink graph, then more PR is passed due to that diversity, even if the diversity all comes from pages that share the same IP address. Forget about IP addresses that is a red herring, backlink diversity has nothing to do with IP addresses.
