I'm guessing it justs says you are wherver the company that owns the IP address has registered it from.

So, no, I can't think of any way to spoof it.

Thanks, I sent an email to n2yo suggesting he make it possible to put in your own position.

I found the button, righthand side below "your current location" click "change your location" Probably there all the time just missed it. Mike

yup, easy, can probably be done free, but but this prog does it easily and costs $20.... from

That's a MAC address thing, and not related in anyway to an IP address a web page is detecting in this particlular instance.

in the description (gave the link) says..... "and changing MAC and IP address as well."

how can it not be related to changing an ip address when it specifically says changing the "ip address as well"?.....

course even if you change/spoof the ip address, still won't give your actual lat/long location, so won't solve the original problem/q, i'd look into changing your location instead

The third utility on the page says that. I didn't scroll down that far. None of those say anything about 'spoofing' an IP address.

Because the description reads like it's just another tool to change you PCs IP address. The same as going to control panel -> Network, etc.

If you were to somehow spoof an IP address from your PC, how would the web page info get back to you anyway ?

If your aiming that at me, I think it shows I don't know enough about it to even ask a proper question! Mike

And a google search for change mac address registry will show you how to change it for free. :)

I was not :)

yeah - don't believe TV and CSI or NCIS -

the IP address is handed out by your Internet Service Provider, and the "location" is merely a guess at where their "rack" is located by using some listings of Internet addresses... This is even worse for dialup - as the "location" could be anywhere the hosted modem is physically located.

ie - my "location" is where my DSL carrier service is created -

hmmm - I don't see any "button" on this page -

What ? You mean you *can't* take an image from 100 feet that is 20 pixels x

20 pixels and enhance it to a high quality image to ID someone or read a license plate ?

That always kills me !!!!

bottom right, shows the IP address and location, with "Set your custom location" below it. Then you can select which satellite you want to track.

As noted by some other folks, the IP address is a decent guess, and I'm not sure how much difference a location that's off by 20 miles would make for this purpose, since you are only going to be looking at an area of sky, where a difference of 10 degrees is probably insignificant.

For my Blackberry, connected through my Wifi, the Blackberry picks up a "RIM" address in Canada, so that's off a bit ;-) My home IP address is off by 90 miles, but it's almost due south, so the effect is that the max altitude azimuth is off by 4 degrees, which I wouldn't notice. The elevation is too high by 10 degrees, but I would see it. The Timezone, oddly, is off by two hours. That would be a problem. I was wondering how I was going to see a satellite in the day time.

You might visit ip2location, the site that n2yo uses to locate you, and see if it is within 20-30 miles.

I dread to think how many times somebody technical in law enforcement has had to explain to their superiors why it can't be done.

Are you suggesting promoting some people IS an indicator of them being smart as a rock ?
