Hello,

My town has Time-Warner. Some people have RoadRunner, some have Earthlink,
some people have AOL but it all runs through T-W's system.

When I do an IP Trace, the trace goes to a location on the north-west side
of town, a residential street.

I tried trace route and found that my IP and the IP address of a T-W gateway
trace to the same physical location. The same is true for others living in
town. Some people live a mile or two from this location, some live 6 to 8
miles from the location of the gateway.

Is it possible that T-W put some kind of gateway in this neighborhood or is
the IP Trace inaccurate about the location?

Thanks.

When I do a IP trace for mine it shows the middle of the live ordinance
range at Twenty Nine Palms Marine Base in southern California.

Mine shows about 5 miles SW across town.

I don't think there's any equipment there. I actually have a green TWC box
just outside my house (about 2 cubic feet) that would be more likely than
where the IP trace shows.

Mine shows a location in the next town, about 7 miles away.

The trace is inaccurate. There is really no way to know where the CMTS
is located. Depending on the network design and where the RF
terminates, it could easily be miles away. Heck, with some of the edge
QAM products that are entering the market, your "CMTS" may be several
states away.
