If you ever need to find the location of an IP address here's an excellent site.< http://www.seomoz.org/ip2loc?start >
Just enter the IP address in the box.

It only narrows it down to the nearest node of any given ISP, and totally worthless if someone was running through proxies. I ran my works IP and it was off by 10miles, run the same IP through a proxy and it just error-ed out. Just a FYI.

It was only about 100 yds from my house. 
When I put your IP address it showed an arrow right to an L shaped home with a pool or pond behind the adjoining home. So if I ever get down that way I will most likely be egging the wrong house?
Posted by Grinning_Dragon on May 24 2010,11:10 pm
nope no L shaped house here, no pool either. Give me the name of the streetAnd if you do show up, don't egg it, just come on in and we have a drink or two or three, I've got all kinds of beer here, even some from MN that isn't sold down here.

It lists 2400 W. Pearl Drive. MARRERO,LOUISIANA.I was joking about the egging, but I think it is funny that it actually points an arrow right at someone's house.

Thats way on the other side of the Harvey canal, thats about 10 miles off from here. When I input my IP addy, It shows up around Ames Blvd and Lapalco. Which is way off too.And I know you were joking about the egging. Save em, fry em up and serve with some bacon. MMMMM

I'm with some of my family at a cabin near Ely, MN this week. I looked up the IP here on dnsstuff, and it said I'm near Rochester, New York. Then I checked that site posted here, and it pointed to the west coast of Africa. So either way, the IP is really screwy here apparently.

oh admit it IrishEyes. You are not at your cabin. You REALLY are in Africa trying to cash in on that Nigerian email you got from Mr. Mustafa Mummbasssie that needs to unload 10,000,000 US dollars.

If you go to speedtest.net it will likely tell you the server or switch station you're connected to. At work I'm in Houston if on the wireless, it's Pittsburgh if plugged to the wall. At home it varies a bit from the Russian embassy downtown seattle (where all the main west coast trunks come in) to Olympia.

Lib- can you pull this ip address? I sent it from the droid. I can only find the mac address. I think I'm connected to my home wireless network but forgot to check.

Not sure if he's on, but I'll send it to you in a PM.
You were right, speedtest did a pretty good job. It shows me in northern MN above Duluth.

Not my cabin, just a cabin my family rents now and then for a week. Although with part of that 10,000,000 from Mustafa, I could BUY this place. lol
I went out on the lake with my brother earlier to look for Loons. You can hear them calling a lot at night.

It shows me in Lansing Township. As the crow flies I guess that COULD be 10 miles, but I am thinking it is slightly more then that by driving...seeing as I am kinda in the neck of the woods where 65 and So. Shore Dr. meet up... 
my mobile says I'm 5 blocks or so off the Santa Monica Freeway ?!!?!
I will state for the record, I have NEVER been to cali...

Hi,I have found the site < Ip-Details.com > where they provide most of the details about a particular ip with google map enabled on it.
