Scary Accurate Web IP Locator - or it just got lucky? Now with Poll

[Modelworks]

Location: ... actually we haven't a clue.

Even if it did use my ip it would be wrong.
My ip comes from a town 200 miles away.


Go to http://www.msn.com/ and look at weather .
It at least gets the right state.

Last time I checked VA don't have palm trees and beaches.

 

[Scouzer]

Just terrible, I'm in Chicago and it said New Jersey.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Eh, i guess if you stick to strict definition you're right. But if you consider that this thread promised a super accurate app and no one else is able duplicate the 'super accurate' results, there has to be some pwnage associated with it. Perhaps we should add a corollary to oldsmoboat's law to cover such cases of extreme pwnage

 

[MisterJackson]

Hmmmm.....I'm not on Pluto. At least not today anyway.

 

[OdiN]

Mine says "United Sates"

Well no shit.

 

[BoomerD]

Missed me by about 20-25 miles.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

[imported_Zeke]

however what is funny is it does see Host name: pool-XXXXXXXXX.nwrknj.fios.verizon.net.

nwrknj is newark nj. im in north jersey, newark is pretty close by, but it wasnt smart enough to use that info.

Mmmmmmm
You got FIOS.....

We can get it here in MI yet...

Same

 

[allisolm]

This one's a lot closer for most of you, but still misses on a couple. It puts me in Milwaukee rather than Florida.

Hold on...
This is not fair at all.
I can only check my OWN IP address. Also, it has worked well for few other ppl here beside me.
Inaccurate -yes
Ownage - no

Also, I have asked for other suggestions, so I was never totally "sold" on the idea...
Hence the sentence:

Do you have any other suggestions?

 

[Christobevii3]

Mine shows houston, i'm on the oklahoma boarder, so only off by like 300-400 miles.

That one was spot on

 

[CptCrunch]

got my work's ip location almost down to the exact location of the data center. It couldn't find my home location, in fact it said '...actually we dont have a clue', and i would like to keep it that way
