yeah but the block after and before might not be in asia.
Correct. And so those blocks would be assigned to other countries...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IP-Numbers-and-Country-of-Origin-23768089 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 11:56:29 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IP-Numbers-and-Country-of-Origin-23765162
What I meant was that the IP itself is not linked to geography. But tools like the RIPE & whois can indeed "check" where each block is allocated. The link you gave is another example of a IP to geography cross-referencing]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IP-Numbers-and-Country-of-Origin-23765162 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 15:45:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IP-Numbers-and-Country-of-Origin-23764383 said by LilYoda:

No the IP address doesn't indicate country of origin
Hmmm well, they sort of do.. for example, a sequential range of IP address (in blocks) are assigned to Asia. See »www.ipaddresslocation.org/ip_ran···nges.php for an example of how to get these ranges via country.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IP-Numbers-and-Country-of-Origin-23764383 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 12:29:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IP-Numbers-and-Country-of-Origin-23763480
There are services of IP localization that search the whois records for an IP you're interested in, and will give you the country. Or you can just use whois database yourself »www.whois.net/ and »www.db.ripe.net/whois]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IP-Numbers-and-Country-of-Origin-23763480 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 05:45:48 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/IP-Numbers-and-Country-of-Origin-23695897
Do I have to look up each game server address to see where it is ?

Before wasting my time on a high ping server in Siberia, I would like to play on only U.S. or possibly Canadian game servers.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/IP-Numbers-and-Country-of-Origin-23695897 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:55:57 EDT
