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

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

Damned, if you do damned if you don't

somanyholes

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?

Places me in Letchworth approx 500 miles away from me! :dunno: NOT ON WBC :dunno:

Rik

Which is logical as that's where the registration would have been.

Blimey, I'm where I am. How rare :D

I use something similar for Firefox called Flagfox, which tells you where the server for the website you're viewing is based. I found it when I was updating my website, it's cool (and very nerdy .'. I love it :D).

Perhaps someone is just trying to find out where Rik is to send him a gift for all his useful advice and quick fixes?
I use to have a signature, then it all changed to chip and pin.

Thanks for that one :) I use one called show ip which also includes other features such as whois, ip2country etc etc. I was looking only the other day for some way of adding a flag to it, you have now provided a way. Many thanks. KARMIC!

Another fan of Flagfox here, So. It's useful when buying on the web, so you don't find yourself dealing with a Chinese firm, say, when you thought they were based in the UK.
