Ever wonder how some ad servers seem to know where you are located? Here's a simple utility [via geoiptool.com] to show where a user's IP address appears to be originating:
height="800" width="400" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
Sorry, your browser doesn't understand IFrames.
There are of course much more comprehensive (typically for-fee) services tracking locations of IP addresses (based on reverse lookups, information sharing between web sites through 3rd-party services, etc.), so don't count on a dynamic IP address to fully anonymize your location.
