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.

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

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

Rik

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

Damned, if you do damned if you don't

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..

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?
