Morning all,
Why is Dropbox detecting my IP address as being 'United States'? I've had an issue with an online biller saying this as well.
Yet http://whatismyipaddress.com/ shows it as London, UK.
What gives?
Cheers,
Paul.

No-one knows this? I'll go ask on the support desk I guess

it'll be a dropbox issue, as your IP is being listed as UK elsewhere.

If I search for my IP on google it's shown as in the US. Also I had an issue with an online store showing me as in the US, as a result the fraud check failed because I had a UK address and a US IP. I'll ring tech support when I get home.

It's an issue with an IP range being reused by PN - can you report it here http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,130918.0.html ?
