Subject: ip2cc 185.10.104.194
ip2cc 185.10.104.194 gives this output: IP::Country modules (v2.28) Copyright (c) 2002-13 Nigel Wetters Gourlay Database updated Wed May 15 15:29:48 2013 Address: 185.10.104.194 Country: EU (European Union) This has two problems. 1) The EU isn't a country it's a group of countries. 2) According to whois, the IP address is used by Baidu in Hong Kong.
Sorry Nigel, this is a bug I can't fix. Sometimes, companies register their IP addresses with RIPE, the European registry, with an incorrect country code. I would guess (and this is only a guess) that Baidu have used the EU code because if they used CN, RIPE would refuse to register the IP addresses and tell them to use APNIC instead. Anyway, I can't start fixing problems that are caused by companies providing wrong information, as that is likely to lead to a great deal of pain. Sorry again that this isn't particularly helpful. --Nigel % This is the RIPE Database query service. % The objects are in RPSL format. % % The RIPE Database is subject to Terms and Conditions. % See http://www.ripe.net/db/support/db-terms-conditions.pdf % Note: this output has been filtered. % To receive output for a database update, use the "-B" flag. % Information related to '185.10.104.0 - 185.10.107.255' inetnum: 185.10.104.0 - 185.10.107.255 netname: EU-BAIDU-20121219 descr: Baidu (Hong Kong) Limited country: EU org: ORG-BKL4-RIPE admin-c: SC14148-RIPE tech-c: SC14148-RIPE status: ALLOCATED PA mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT mnt-lower: baidueng mnt-routes: baidueng source: RIPE # Filtered organisation: ORG-BKL4-RIPE org-name: Baidu (Hong Kong) Limited org-type: LIR address: Baidu (Hong Kong) Limited address: Room 2201-02, 22/F, World Wide House,19 Des Voeux Rd Central address: ${rcptPostalCode} Hong Kong address: HK mnt-ref: Baidueng mnt-ref: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT source: RIPE # Filtered person: Selina Chui address: Baidu Campus, No. 10 Shangdi 10th Street, Haidian District, Beijing, China 100085 phone: +8615017610197 nic-hdl: SC14148-RIPE mnt-by: Baidueng source: RIPE # Filtered % This query was served by the RIPE Database Query Service version 1.66.3 (WHOIS3)
