Hi,

So I think I firstly need to work out what area I am in in order to get the correct mac address,, having seen someones post >>

"sorry mate forgot to tell you its ubr07.croy or ubr09.croy

croydon area

cheers"

Im guessing that mine will be somthing like ubr07.bris - for bristol...

Is there some kind of map that tells you what area or code you are in that someone can point me towards?

so, its called my UBR.. I currently dont have a connection at home so will I be able to locate it or do i need to have an internet connection in the first place?

The easiest was is from a home connection - or a neighbours. Do a "whois" search of their IP address.

You can use this one - Whois - IP Address - Domain Name Lookup it usually displays your IP address on the main page, click on that and you get lots of interesting information
