Re: question about ip addresses

I've an old mail from a great DNS manager. He says that maxmind.com has a precompiled list for all this ip addresses. I haven't searched in this site, because my project died (well the company that require the site). There's a thing you should check any way. I were on my old school and reach the site dnsstuff.com (nice site to find any thing about dns system), and the page get my IP and it were asociate with a country. I don't know how the company that provides internet access to the school manages their systems, but the site tells me that I were in the usa. I live in Guatemala (Central America). It is a nice thing for hacking or joking, but it is not for this IP handling. If you find some way to know for real this, tell me, I'm intrested. Greetings.
