217.113.76.242
This I.P location shows it's in Zambia and Belgium depending on which locator used.
The company "Celtelplus" is a division of Celtel phone company in Zambia(Now called ZAIN).
The strange thing is the I.P is from a country that has nothing to do with Zambia or Zain.
Does anyone have an ideas on why this is happening.
Is the I.P really in Belgium?
When i use "Tracert" it shows links thru the U.K but times out twice on the 2 hops before reaching this I.P.
217.113.76.242 (217.113.76.242) is located in Amsterdam, North Holland (province), Netherlands.
Antionline I.P locator shows another location.
It's registered (whois) to a Belgian ISP. The AS indicates it's in Belgium.
IP locators are notoriously inaccurate.
yeah, it's Belgian. Forget about what locators say.

I was kind of hoping that when the site was aquired by "WebMediaBrands" that it may of been looked into and actually fixed..
But i don't think it is going to get the needed attention anytime soon.. :(
Web Media Brands?
You mean JupM, those lousy little domain squatters who bought off everything from AO to Ask-Jeeves... have infact been bought out themselves?

Hi,
The company has its headquarters in Amsterdam, although its business is in Africa. I believe it was bought by the Kuwaitis a while back.

The AO IP Locator possibly worked to begin with, but was based on borrowed tables that haven't been updated for at least 5 years, so is now woefully inaccurate.
:)
Thanks for the help.
One point i don't understand is how does a user in Zambia have an I.P from Belgium?
I have checked by phone and spoken to the person to see if they are in Zambia and it is true.
Gateway communications is the ISP in Zambia.
Here is a quote from the user of the I.P
"Regardless of whether I use my X1 or storm phone my IP will always show the Belguim IP. Same happens when I use my gprs modem on my laptop."
A Belgian Telco using it's own network to supply Zambia?
No, I remember how off it was seven to ten years ago.Quote:

Shouldn't someone be fixing the locator and cleaning up the download section now ?
Or maybe remove it completely.. ?
Is that an Answer or a Question?Quote:

Depends on the ISP ..not the country.
So say a company from the Netherlands in the internet provider in Zambia...the client will aquire an IP from the provider...resolving to a foreign country.
There are very few borders on the internet...
although lately I an unable to view content because of my IP\location...how fookin stoopid is that!!! :eek7:

We block all packets from IP addresses associated with evil/rogue nations. Cuts down very efficiently on noise/annoyances. Did you recently move to russia? ;)Quote:

Well my IP resolves to a location over 300KMs from here.......depending on what continent your on......that could be another country.
as far as I know....there is only one country on this continent that could be associated with evil\rogue policies...such as invading foriegn countries, torture, invasion of privacy, violation of human rights etc
and it aint mine :D

ouch
Sorry there CSR....
I heard I get mean when I drink cheap brown liquor ;)

We're pretty much a leaderless country built by mobsters, slave traders, and pirates. What do you expect?
At the same time 99.9% of charity organisations are based right here in the U.S. People come in droves. And for some reason every pinko-island-nation still looks to us like some sort of world leader... knowing fully well that we're already stretched to far around.
I have been getting that as well.............a 403 because my whole IP range is blocked due to skiddie/bot/spam activity from it :rolleyes:Quote:

Yes, I get 120Km, 210Km and 380Km. The last one is the final hop internally, the other two are the nearest centres that I make first connection to.Quote:

Come to think of it you are right, as it must be around 5 years since I checked it :)Quote:

Well my IP is being blocked because I am in Canada...and our government and the major ISPs are trying to regulate the internet and content....and supply a certain amount of "Canadian" content by hijacking requests and redirecting to a Canadian version of the site :rolleyes:
which is just WRONG!!!
Like I need some corporate\government luddites filtering my content
I guess I could use a proxy if it gets REALLY bad

Our "new government of Canada" leans toward fascism...and is a big fan of the previous US administration....
I am not a big fan of thier policies as they tend to side with corporations more then the people.

Current US Administration=Facists
It's easy to attack a company or whatever flavor of the month administration takes office but nobody ever wants to admit that the people suck.
Instead of going the route of "change" you should all attack special interest groups simply because they exist (even organizations for veterans and the ill). And actively deny all forms of legislation... no matter if it does the country alot of good.
That is amazing!.................Canada of all places...............no wonder i misunderstood what you were saying? :eek:Quote:
