Go to www.ripe.net (one of the registries that allocates IP addresses). Click where it says: Ripe database. In the Search field type your IP address. Under Sources click on All. Under Types click on inetnum. Under Flags click on B (shows full details). Then click on Search, and scroll down to look at the results. You need to look at the inetnum object that contains the IP address of interest, then see Country. Be aware that what this tells you is where an IP block is registered. Nothing to stop the entity using it from using those addresses anywhere on the planet, if it has its own network. -- Cheers -- Tim
