Yeah, it thought I was in Albuquerque instead of Livermore... it was
probably my sandia.gov address.

Makes since, it put me at the location of the CO where my DSL terminates on first try.
A second try via a different internet connection centered me up on that CO's
location.
It's using the long lat info returned from RDNS on an IP trace back as its first
guess.
You are correct the sandia.gov addresses are all flagged as"
Location Albuquerque (35.083N, 106.650W) based on a forward DNS lookup of their rDNS
record.
As ATT DSL points to: Columbus (40.100N, 83.017W)

It placed me in Belfast, which isn't even the right country.

Map is too hard to read with all the streets showing.

Location is close enough for this purpose.
My question is, who is blstuart (Brian Stuart) and why is his pin blue ?
I want a Big Blue pin to mark the home of IBMcollectables.com :-)
BTW it worked ok for me using IE.
There are 6 unknown locations around Wichita I am assuming were the firefox failures
mentioned.
