    it matches me router ip and its almost dead on to my location,30 miles off..

    ddp why don't ye use 2000 it has the look and feel of 98se..

    in fact i use 2000 as my main system,and its still supported,with all updates.................

    also 2000 supports more ram then the 512 that 98 supports..

    It was only off by 10 miles when I tried it. So that was pretty much dead on.

    There's always the option of using a proxy server.

    Mine was like a block away from my current house. That's pretty scary knowing that people can know where you live just by your IP address.

    Mine was off by about 10 miles. That is comforting.
