Re: question about ip addresses

Hi, Well, 30 miles away from london is still pretty close...dont you think? Everytime I visited it gave me my correct location...so cant really complain, if i had such a system i would be happy.

IP addresses are network rather than geographically based. I say you can get geo info via an ip but I say use it with extreme caution as it will not always be accurate and can be "cheated" easily, intentionally or not...just dont base anything important on it.
