IP addresses only "mostly" map to geolocations. There are too many
variables to get too upset about being off by a continent or two.

The unique identifier is the MAC address of the Ethernet on the Receiver
(and Transporter, SB Classic, etc.) and there are known reports of the
MAC address being wrong. Its controlled by firmware, and can be changed,
I think there are instructions in the Wiki

Look on the bottom and then look at your http:9000 page to see what MAC
that the software thinks is. If they are not the same, you can see all
sorts of weird stuff
