Hi,

I am in Derby (Postcode DE22) on 4mb Virgin Boradband via STB. I want to know what server I am so I can check if there are issues on the service status website, as I am having trouble with my connection (intermittent email and browsing for last three days, slightly better today). I did a tracert bbc.co.uk and the following results occured:
Can somebody please tell from the results what server I am connected to or is there another way of knowing without having to telephone Virgin??

Trace complete.

Am I connected to Leicester, Luton, Derby or does the tracet not tell me where? I have searched for an answer on how to know what server one is connected to but can't find any answers.

Thanks in advance,

Simon

A good clue will be in the reverse lookup of your IP address, there will be an abreviated district in the name.

There is a link at the top of this page that tells you your connection would that help?

Oh and welcome to the forum :wavey:

Hi,

Thanks for your reply and welcome (I've been registered here over a year, just not written anything b4).
I don't know how to do a reverse look up of my i.p. address. A link telling my connection would help, but obviously I can't find a link at the top of the page which is why I started a thread.

I'll call VM.

Thanks again.

Simon

Luton probably seems most probable.
