Funny how my location is in middle on an corn field. lol

I don't think you are able to locate an exact position of a computer using the IP, mostly you'll locate the location where your IP is coming from.

A while back when i was on dial-up i traced my ip with one of these online tracers and it was very accurate, it didn't go to my ISP.

Static IP addresses can be located to a tee, dynamic IP addresses which are assigned by your ISP get located to you the closest headquarters or switching station of your ISP.

My web hosting server switches between India and Washington DC.

Sometimes you tube is sent in Indian, other times its English.

Switches every couple of months, don't understand it at all.

Its a proxy, by the way.

My friends isn't, it's because they run out of ip's so they need to "Borrow" one from another location, lol.
