Need Geeks: Question About Ip Addresses

[Gabriela]

Is it common or normal for a person's IP address to be registered 3 hours' drive away from where they actually live?

 

I don't even really understand what an IP address is, so...  :idontknow:

Yes, it can happen. Depends on your ISP.

[Tufsoles]

Ditto.

I initially thought you said "Need GReeks." I'm not Greek, but I am a Greek Catholic. :)

Yes.

Sounds sketchy. Bust his behind!

[KnightofChrist]

An IP address is like your house address, or like your telephone number.

Yes it is common to have an IP that is connected to a city hours away, when you trace or look up the IP address online.

Definitely.

[Gabriela]

Definitely.

 

Good God, man. PLEASE change your avatar. It is going to give someone a seizure!

An IP address is a compulsive product of modern computer technology designed to allow one computer (or other digital device) to communicate with another via the Internet.An Internet Protocol is a set of rules that govern Internet activity and facilitate completion of a variety of actions on the World Wide Web.IP address location databases have greatly improved in accuracy over the years. They may try to map each network address to a specific postal address or latitude/longitude coordinate. However, various limitations still exist: IP addresses may be associated with the wrong location (e.g., the wrong postal code, city or suburb within a metropolitan area). Addresses may be associated only with a very broad geographic area (e.g., a large city, or a state). Many addresses are associated only with a city, not with a street address or latitude/longitude location.Some addresses will not appear in the database and therefore cannot be mapped (often true for IP numbers not commonly used on the Internet).So it all depends on the ISP provider database.To find the ip address for the internet service provider you can use the service of the site Ip-details.com .Here they provide internet ip address and its location,etc.
