Just had a new member join our forum, he says he is from New Zealand, yet in his profile I see his IP and it's attributed to USA.

Checking the IP on other location sites, it is confirmed as NZ. The IP is 115.188.54.xx

The IP database that is used for Web Wiz is usually very accurate and is updated each month to the latest version.

Although with IPv4 addresses now running out there is allot of movement in IPv4 addresses as they are sold between ISP's who can not get assigned any new IP ranges from their local RIR.

I will inform our IP database provider that the IP range 115.188.0.0 - 115.188.255.255 is assigned to a NZ company and not US company in order they correct their database for next month.
