Also remember, the 'location' of an IP address is only that of who registered that IP block. My ISP is about 50 miles away from my house, so an IP locator would give my location as that. For an extended example, if I set up a Dial-Up account in Belgium, and dialed across seas from the US, if you traced me, it would appear that I don't even live in the western hemisphere. So remember those IP locators are not too exact.
Even more. I guess it's all about the company that's distributing it... I mean, I know someone else had my IP, maybe someone in Troy, NY. But I guess the location was not updated or something..
