I need to do this in bulk, so I can't just look up the location from one IP address and figure out the nearest big city. Any suggestions on sites that provide this service? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.70494 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 15:55:35 -0800 IPaddresses location lookup mapping Maia http://ask.metafilter.com/3783/Can%2DI%2Dfake%2Da%2Dfixed%2DIP%2Daddress Can I fake a fixed IP address? [more inside] I am in the process of setting up a new server at work which will, among other things, act as a Terminal Server to provide staff with remote access to our network. The problem is that we do not have a fixed IP address on our Internet connection (we can get one, but it costs at least $100 per month extra) and our <a href="http://www.bigpond.com/internet-plans/broadband/adsl/">provider</a> disconnects us at least once a day, which means that our IP address changes at least that often. We are using a <a href="http://www.dlink.com.au/products/broadband/dsl504/">D-Link DSL-504</a> ADSL router to connect to the Internet and the new server will be running MS Small Business Server 2003. The solution we have come up with so far is to run a script on the server that sends the current IP to a web page, requiring staff to open that page and paste the current IP into the Terminal Services client to connect. Does anyone have a better idea? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2003:site.3783 Wed, 10 Dec 2003 21:10:31 -0800 ip ipaddresses dg
