Interesting, but my company proxy appears to be in a field in Kansas :Yikes:

And www.bbc.co.uk is in Wimsford / Hebden Green?

Re: Geo IP tool
 

Mine was in Stoke which I'm reliably informed is nowhere near Ilford :rofl:

Re: Geo IP tool
 

Apparently I'm in Bickley - somewhere in South London. In fact it seems it's cleverly worked out that I'm on ntl's Bromley platform, since Bickley is just next door to Bromley :erm:

Oddly enough my office appears to have been relocated 25 miles to the centre of London too.

That's ok it's managed to re-home us near Edinburgh ;) Think the tool needs sharpening a bit lol

Re: Geo IP tool
 

dnsstuff.com have done a similar thing for ages... http://www.dnsstuff.com/info/geolocation.htm - but sadly theirs is no more reliable either.

Seems I've moved to Wales (Swansea ....) :rolleyes:

My web server's IP is found correctly too as being in Chicago

Re: Geo IP tool
 

My IP is shown as being near Greenwich station, which is odd, as I work about a 15 minute walk away from there. I then assumed it was picking up where our computer department is (they are off campus to prevent students going to them with queries), but, IIRC, they are in a building nearer Maze Hill station. So, nearly right but not quite.

BTW, I am sure that last time I checked with Visual Route, the BBC website was shown as being hosted at LINX in docklands.

Could be where the main router is Stuart perhaps

Re: Geo IP tool
 

If your referring to Uni, it's not. The main router is on one of the comms rooms in the building next to the one were I work.

If you are referring to the BBC, yes, it's entirely possible..

I'm now in Gotham near Nottingham in the middle of a field :erm:
