IP To Country

[glebka11]

I wrote this neat program which converts IP address of my computer
to the country name its from without using the internet which means
better security.

For the guys who wonder, it uses the IP2Country database for that.

If anybody is interested, you can get it from my website here .

I checked the program on windows 2003 and XP, but it should work on any other windows OS.
For linux guys, sorry but it won't run on *nix.

EDIT: the link was broken after the update but now its fine

Cool... i'll maybe give it a little shot .

What language is it written in?

The setup of the program didnt work till 1 minut ago, now it works fine.
If anybody has the non-working version, please redownload.

It perfecty works now.

It is written in Visual Basic 6 Service Pack 6.

Sorry for double posting....

It is written in Visual Basic 6 Service Pack 6.

Ah.. was gonna say if it was C++ or something it could maybe be compiled on a Linux rig so the linux folk could use it as well... nvm

Looks pretty cool. I only have one little problem though. It doesnt work if I cheat and put in 192.168.x.x Ips or 10.x.x.x IPs. Perhaps have a little popup box saying that its a private network IP?

I attached some screenies as well - blurred my IP out tho

As for its being the first version, i didnt add this yet.
The next version will have all the protections.

I think ill write the second verion this week

EDIT:ADD: In the 3rd version which will come out soon, ill add automatic database update, if the owners of the database will confirm and allow me to do it. (the software is mine but i am using the ip2country databse which is free, so its legal)

Looks good gleb. I just wish I could press enter after I put the IP in, I'm far too lazy to use the mouse

I need more users opinions first, only then i can write the second version.

So, everybody, DL, check, suggest
