How to find Geographic location thru IP address

[Narasimha Rao]

Hi,

I have IP Addresses in my DB table. I want to find the geographic location of each IP address. Can anyone help me if there is any API or solution for this.

Thanks in advance.

That one and others I suspect are as accurate as the internet providers can
be. For example, I live in a somewhat sparsely populated area. It shows
the location as off by about 8 miles. It depends on the accuracy needed I
guess.

There are both commercial and providers of such service.

You should note that none of them is 100% correct.

Usually in the high 90's for country and low 90's
for region/city.

The free ones include:

* http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country

I have C# code for loading a local copy of
the databases and query it. Email me if interested.

You can get the geolocation .NET control from IP2Location with
database subscription service.
