So my friend did an IP search on http://www.dnsstuff.com/ with my IP and this is what she got:

IP: 65.144.215.188
Country: United States
City: Denver, Colorado

....

I live in PA..

Last time I checked.. PA is far from Denver.

Go there and see if it gives you your correct location.

Apparently I'm in the UK. Not too far off, I am on the east side of Ireland.

At least, people have heard of the places you live in. Hey, America, is the capital of Romania Bucharest or Budapest? Perhaps this time you'll get it right.

It thinks I'm my ISP.

"Unknown"

"Unknown"
LOL that is a good thing it mean NASA can't se you.
*Shifty eyes*

Hey, America, is the capital of Romania Bucharest or Budapest?
Bucharest (or Bucaresti), whatever. Ce faci?

It says I'm in central Kansas, when I'm actually in central Michigan.

You appear to be located in New Zealand [City: Wellington, Wellington]

Hmmm... at least mine was in the right country, just a totally wrong city, apparently I'm in Leiden, hmm, maybe i should go visit some friends then if I'm there anyway:D

Yeah Wellington,Wellington New Zealand Continental Shelf of,

Sydney apparently.

How bizzare. My computer tells me my IP address is 10.247.97.31 , but the site tells me my IP address is 213.48.73.94

10.247.97.31 is a private and unknown. Whereas 213.48.73.94 is identified as originating from the UK, and the whois, correctly identitifies it as being a University of Birmingham server.

edit: Oh, I know what's going on... I think... 10.247.97.31 is an internal IP assigned to me by the university's DHCP server. 213.48.73.94 is probably the main University server that all my traffic gets routed through.

IP: 81.97.138.***
Country: United Kingdom
City: Stoke On Trent, England


It got mine right...

In California?! Hahahahaha! :D

NAT first became popular as a way to deal with the IPv4 address shortage and to avoid the difficulty of reserving IP addresses. Use of NAT has proven particularly popular in countries other than the United States, which (for historical reasons) have fewer address-blocks allocated per capita. It has become a standard feature in routers for home and small-office Internet connections, where the price of extra IP addresses would often outweigh the benefits.

In a typical configuration, a local network uses one of the designated "private" IP address subnets (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), and a router on that network has a private address (such as 192.168.0.1) in that address space. The router is also connected to the Internet with a single "public" address (known as "overloaded" NAT) or multiple "public" addresses assigned by an ISP. As traffic passes from the local network to the Internet, the source address in each packet is translated on the fly from the private addresses to the public address(es). The router tracks basic data about each active connection (particularly the destination address and port). When a reply returns to the router, it uses the connection tracking data it stored during the outbound phase to determine where on the internal network to forward the reply; the TCP or UDP client port numbers are used to demultiplex the packets in the case of overloaded NAT, or IP address and port number when multiple public addresses are available, on packet return. To a system on the Internet, the router itself appears to be the source/destination for this traffic.

10.247.97.31 is the IP address of your computer on your local network. 213.***.***.*** is the IP address of your router/default gateway, which connects your local network to the rest of the internet. The internet can directly communicate with the router/default gateway but cannot directly communicate with your computer.

I got my edit in 2 minutes before your reply. Thanks anyway.

This is probably why I had to get a friend to act as proxy so I can get on IRC. The server blocks all activity not on the html or ftp ports. So according to my Proxy server I live in Rochester, NY, USA.

Bucharest (or Bucaresti), whatever. Ce faci?

Almost right about the city's name in Romanian, right on about my original question.
Scandinavians don't count - I expect you to know.

Ce faci?
Don't I deserve a "Ce faceţi?"?! :p

Don't I deserve a "Ce faceţi?"?!
Probably, but my Romanian fails me. :D

Ha! It has placed me in the outback. Right out near the nullaboor, middle of the desert!

Do you happen to live in London? I clicked about on the site and it lead to http://www.ip2location.biz/?AfID=23224 which correctly guessed my city as Birmingham. Is London right?

OMG now it says i live in Sydney, Australia.

Apparently I live in New York State now. And not even the good, Democratic part... the upstate, Republican part. If that were true I would have gone crazy ages ago............. wait. ;)

Shockingly, it got my location completely correct.

Sydney, New South Wales

What? I've never been in Sydney ...

Unknown :D

Edit: The other one (http://www.ip2location.biz/?AfID=23224) said Oldham. Wrong side of Manchester but meh, close enough.
