Does anyone know if their is a comprised list of ISP contacts available anywhere ( other then through ARIN/RIPE and iNOC phone) Also, I ran into a problem with a new /16 block we received from ARIN. The IP-Country info points to Canada which is not accurate. We are a US based company. I had placed a request into Geobyte to make the change to US, I am still waiting. Does anyone know if there is a central database that these companies pull from to gather country info? If its ARIN, it should have been corrected. Thanks Ted

Sorry if I seem dense but how or where does geobyte come into the picture at all when you receive an IP block from ARIN. If the contact information for that /16 has an error in it, then ARIN has a fairly well documented procedure to change contact information for a netblock and you can follow it. Geobytes seems to use ARIN data along with what is basically wild guessing to find where an IP is located. If they make a wrong guess - its an issue thats localized to them. -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists@gmail.com)

Well, the first thing to do would be to check ARIN's whois, to see if the data is correct there. "whois -h whois.arin.net n.n.n.n" If it's correct there, then someone else has corrupted it subsequently. If it's incorrect in the ARIN whois, then it's incorrect in the ARIN database, and you need to speak with ARIN staff to get that corrected. -Bill
