Ip don't map to addresses. You can get the general area. »ip-address.cc/ come close with me.
Not with me. That site pegs me on Stevenson Blvd., in Fremont, California. Never lived in the East Bay in my entire life; born, and raised, in the South Bay.

Trace route puts me in Pleasanton, California, even farther out than Fremont. Can't rely on anything based on IP address host name, or WHOIS records.

@MacLeech:

My IP address in socal.rr.com gives the following info using the ARIN whois site at »ws.arin.net/whois/

I know that, but most people don't do a Whois lookup on their address. Some tools mistakenly do that though.

Just looking at the second to last hop in his LQ report shows it's close to Reseda, CA.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Why-is-my-IP-so-far-away-21026663 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:41:25 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Why-is-my-IP-so-far-away-21026622

ALL RoadRunner IP addresses - that I am aware off - are registered with the RoadRunner headquarters as the address. As such, applications that do graphical representations of traceroutes on a world map, will always place your "home" IP address in Virginia. Obviously it is not the PHYSICAL location of the IP address, it's just where the IP address is registered to.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Why-is-my-IP-so-far-away-21026622 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:35:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Why-is-my-IP-so-far-away-21026185
