In addition to scanning the results of http://php.net/gethostbyaddr I believe there *ARE* records of who owns what IP ranges, and you could *MAYBE* access them with Whois, SNMP, and/or other tools to make an educated guess. Nothing will be 100% accurate, however. Why do you think you need this?... If it's language, you can use the language-negotiation or content-negotiation or whatever it is, but most users don't set their browser up properly in the first place, so it's not real useful...
