More to do with what the owner of the IP address block decides to do, than with routing. They could easily have a world-wide or continent-wide network, in which case your IP address tells you nothing at all. On OS X, I appear to be able to do it thus (in PHP): $zonepath = @readlink ('/etc/localtime'); // Path to the timezone file if ($zonepath===false) exit (1); // User needs to set timezone $leadin = '/usr/share/zoneinfo/'; // Strip off the leadin and $timezone = substr ($zonepath, strlen($leadin)); // the timezone remains Whether this generalises to other unix flavours I don't know. I was unable to find a reliable way to do similar under Windows, though it may exist. -- Cheers -- Tim
