I have communicated with the author of freeipdb (Ben April), as I don't think he reads this list. I let him know that I was not able to access the web site. I am posting a summary for those that are interested since this question has come up a couple of times (probably every time someone can't get to the web site). The project is still alive. He is still working on it. He was able to access the web site at http://www.freeipdb.org/ The CVS server was temporarily offline. That being said, I still can't access the web site myself. (just in case some of you thought you were the only ones.) On Wed, 20 Oct 2004, Ejay Hire wrote:

We actively use freeipdb, and I do development work on it. If the original maintainer is gone and CW doesn't mind I'll take over. Do you need some help with it?

A few years ago, it seemed freeipdb and NorthStar were the way to go. freeipdb.org is DOA, and NorthStar's last development note is over a year ago with CVS unreachable. Are these two projects dead? If do, what are people using now.

Thanks,
