I think whoever did that ip location description needs a geography lesson.

That address is on Reading UBR 4.

BTW i've edited your post as it is not a good idea to put the whole address on a forum

According to my webcounter, when I visit my own website from our livingroom near Reading here, it's tracking me as coming via Belfast.

Should I be travelling so far in my dressing gown and slippers?? :scratch:

It's probably showing the location of your proxy server instead. You need to be looking at HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR and not REMOTE_ADDR.

I don't have access to anything called that. Usually it shows my location as Swallowfield, Reading, but today it's Belfast.. that's all I know! :confused:
