Aohell double proxies their users' ip#s. That is to say, the number assigned to
the
user is essentially made up, and the ip# of the router the user is dialed into
is also
made up. You could be at 172.149.2.9 one day and 152.202.39.92 the next day.
They aren't going to change this. AOhell bought a *small* ip block, relative to
their
userbase, and they spread it around the usa as needed, not one group of numbers
to
a city, or state. In an addy mask like 98CA275C.ipt.aol.com, the "98CA275C" is a
hex translation of the ip#, 98.CA.27.5C , or 152.202.39.92.
My suggestion is to get a real isp, not AOL or MSN or .NET. Both spend a great
deal
of time trying to lock in proprietary closed "standards".
