What Is Wrong With My IP?

[JaguarLover]

Hi all
I used to be able to make loads of minecraft servers for my friends but recently I have has issues, if I type my ip into my server and select a port which I've forwarded it says failed to bind port, I searched for my ip and discovered it, then went on some of those ip lookup websites, they say my location is Sheffield, and ever weirder still my iPod has the exact same ip? My ISP is bt but what on earth is going on?
Many thanks
JaguarLover

Goto your router control panel, what do it shows as your External IP?
Router?

If you goto an IP lookup such as whatismyip on any devices in your home network they should give you the same IP.

Hmm, the external ip seems in order, but that still dosent explain the location of sheffield

Plus.net by any chance ?

I've had locations of places hundreds Of miles away, I wouldn't worry about it.

The IP information will probably be registered to the ISP.

My blocks of IPs show up as a town that is not where my ISP is, where I am (and the IPs are registered to) or where my POP is.

IP Geolocation is sketchy at best.

Don't worry about it.

I've had IP geolocations say I was Nottingham and sometimes Leicester!
