    Lucky you. You'll probably be able to download archived BBC TV shows from there website that checks to make sure viewers have a UK IP before allowing the programmes to be downloaded.

    cmyip.com probably consults the RIPE (european agency responsible for delgation of IPs) info for your IP block, which is publically accessible.

    When I was using my IBB connection those targetted porn ads used to say "There are women waiting to have sex tonight in TALLAGHT".

    Too F*cking right there are, and they'll be waiting a long time for a look in from me.

    It can be a bit of a balls for online gaming. I am with utv and get better pings on UK servers than on Irish servers. If I do a traceroute to an irish server the packets go all the way to the uk and then back to ireland again

    Just did a check out of curiosity, as I am with Last Mile.

    It says I'm in London, UK!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,748 ✭✭✭Do-more


    It says I'm in Dublin, which is probably appropriate as it seems half of Dublin has moved to Mullingar...

    Gas, I'm with lastmile too and it says:

    My IP is 89.x.x.x
    My country is Ireland
    My city is Athlone
    Hide-IP-Soft.com

    Which is not too far wrong ..

    inetnum:      193.120.137.56 - 193.120.137.63
    netname:      BSB-SAFETY
    descr:        BSB Saftey
    descr:        Raheen Industrial Estate
    descr:        Limerick
    descr:        Ireland
    

    Aww, they *actually* know where I am. Damn leased line! :D

    I find www.dnsstuff.com good for this kind of stuff - the "WHOIS lookup" will look up your IP address with RIPE records.

    That cmyip.com site doesn't work for me:
    My IP is 192.168.0.99
    My country is
    My city is
    God knows how it got my LAN address! O_o
