Re: [Way OT] Re: Geo location to IP mapping

One of the geolocation thingies said my addresses were in Amsterdam. That's only 10,000 miles from Hawaii. 2500 miles more and that's exactly the opposite side of the planet... ;-)
Try http://www.hostip.info it is reasonable accurate in most cases and hell it is for free. It depends what you need it for of course but it is far better than nothing.
64.29.76.9, your mauigateway.com pops up correctly as Honolulu. 205.166.249.10 is guessed to be somewhere random in the US.
That's not the address space I manage. It's just my ISP.
From www.hostip.info I get " ... actually we haven't a clue." The IP space I manage is a /15 and is in ARIN, so it's hard to miss...

It's not really fair to baseline the credibility of any geo location discussion based on hostip.info. There are much better commercial services like Quovus, MaxMind, and Akamai. -M< -- Martin Hannigan (c) 617-388-2663 Renesys Corporation (w) 617-395-8574 Member of Technical Staff Network Operations hannigan@renesys.com
