Usually that is because the ISP did not update its records, but that is not the generate case. This is based on NetGeo service that is free. It is still better than a service that charges you to get this detail of information, especially because being very rigorous is not important and at least it correctly guessed the country which is all that most other free services provide. To learn how to use NetGeo from PHP, here is the solution that was used: http://www.phpclasses.org/netgeoclass -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/http://www.phpclasses.org/mirrors.html?closest=1Except: Your approximate location: City: Middletown State: New Jersey Country: United States Longitude: 74.11° West Latitude: 40.4° North I'm nowhere NEAR the east coast. I think this has to do with the way ISP assign their IP pools, so you can't always rely on a user's IP to determine their closest location. This page is telling me my closet mirror would be New York, where in reality Illinois or California would be closer. For that matter, going straight up to Edmonton, Canada might be closer for me than going to the East coast.
