Hi all,

thanks for all the input ! :)

In the meantime I found this:

http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_lokalisieren/<ip-address>

where "<ip-aaddress>" is for example "192.168.192.168". ;)

Further links on that page leads to a satelite-map marked
with the location of the IP...plus a unknown offset of some
meters/miles...

Best regards,
