Hi all, thanks for all the input ! :) In the meantime I found this: http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_lokalisieren/<ip-address> where "<ip-aaddress>" is for example "192.168.192.168". ;) Further links on that page leads to a satelite-map marked with the location of the IP...plus a unknown offset of some meters/miles... Best regards, mcc
