    [Inactive] IP address is reported wrong

    It was suggested that I post this on this forum. I think there is a possible issue with my router but of course the trouble could lie elsewhere. This has been posted in the 'Internet' section before here.

    My IP address is being 'reported' incorrectly to a site that I frequent (a survey site). I receive a message that I am logging in from a country that is not the one I opened my account in.

    I am interested in learning how I might get this corrected so that I can access the site again. I don't know who or what I need to connect with to even begin to resolve this matter.

    Some details: I did change my ISP provider recently from Time Warner (Road Runner) to AT&T Uverse. The problem never existed prior to this change, and did not surface for several weeks after the switch. All searches I can do on my own IP address indicate that it is being recognized to be in the right country, although one report shows it existing in a different state within the USA.

    Any thoughts or hints would be greatly appreciated!

    I can't even imagine how this issue could be malware related.
    I suggest you stay in your original topic.

    You can contact WindowsBBS administrator who can see your IP address and he will let you know if it's correct or not.
