might be of use for some. Shows the worldwide location of an ip address. There are a number of sites that do this, but this one seems to provide more info than others.

It has me in Bristol.

somanyholes · Aug 11, 2009, 10:45:46

thats very strange, from memory your not near there?. if you do a Whois Lookup(IP) on http://www.iptools.com/ does that show you as bristol as well?

Simon · Aug 11, 2009, 10:46:12

Works for me. Rik always has to be difficult, So.

Mapping isn't working for me there, So.

Actually, just tried the bottom link, and that dumps me in Bristol too.

somanyholes · Aug 11, 2009, 10:57:36

It looks like it is how idnet have got things setup then. How far are you from Bristol ?

Gary · Aug 11, 2009, 11:05:17

It has me in Letchworth which sounds like something people do at clubs to each other

Thats 85 miles as the crow flies from me

About 150-200 miles at a guess. I'll try my other IP address and see what that gives.

Simon · Aug 11, 2009, 11:13:07

I wonder if being on WBC makes any difference?

Rik · Aug 11, 2009, 11:17:30

My other IP shows up as Milton Keynes...

Ray · Aug 11, 2009, 11:29:40

Works for me, it places me in Lutterworth which around 4 miles from where I live.

somanyholes · Aug 11, 2009, 11:37:03

Looks like I'll have to agree with Simon then, and say Rik's just being awkward

Rik · Aug 11, 2009, 11:37:55

Only half of me is, So, the WBC connected half.

Can't disagree with that, So.

Gary · Aug 11, 2009, 11:42:28

I wonder why it has me 85 miles from where I am ?

somanyholes · Aug 11, 2009, 11:48:52

85 miles does seem beyond what i would expect. These type of services usually get it right to within 30 miles or so. i presume you have used your ip from the router wan interface, not some possible proxied address..

Close.

Would be beyond the realms of possibility that this symptom could be connected to the ongoing WBC issues? If connections are being routed halfway round the country, could this not have an effect?

Rik · Aug 11, 2009, 12:35:25

It could. Though I go through the MK node...

quandam · Aug 11, 2009, 12:36:35

Places me in Letchworth approx 500 miles away from me!

NOT ON WBC
