<div>
its simple .. one system is using a diffrent lookup method form the other.,<br />
<br />
How these thigns work is they query a database which refrences your IP address to a location. There are a few databases onlien which they can query to find your location via ip address. In some cases when they do not find yrou ip they try to locate you based on the owner of the netblock which the ip address range is registered to. This may be why whatmy ip shows you in two countries as the ip range may be spread accross both networks.<br />
<br />
<br />
Some also use traces on your routes and identify the core internet routers to get your location .. it may be that to .. <br />
<br />
<br />
mabe some one else has a better explanation

How to find my real location from an IP?

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.

TCP/IP

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Web Browsers

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.
