Need to alter IP address

Hi guys,
I'm tracking satellites using this page;
http://www.n2yo.com/passes/?s=25544&tz=GMT-06:00
It automatically locates me by IP address but it's off by 300 miles.
I don't see a way to adjust the Lat/Long or put in a different IP address.
Anyway I can fool it?
Thanks Mike

PS. My first try was on Nov 26 at 5:40 pm. I took my son out to see the
ISS,
we got a double!! The ISS and the Space Shuttle were on the same track
about
a hand width apart at arms length. yeeha!

Thanks,
I sent an email to n2yo suggesting he make it possible to put in your own
position.

I found the button, righthand side below "your current location"
click "change your location"
Probably there all the time just missed it.

If your aiming that at me, I think it shows I don't know enough about it to
even ask a proper question!

yeah - don't believe TV and CSI or NCIS -

the IP address is handed out by your Internet Service Provider,
and the "location" is merely a guess at where their "rack" is located
by using some listings of Internet addresses...
This is even worse for dialup -
as the "location" could be anywhere the hosted modem is physically located.

ie - my "location" is where my DSL carrier service is created -

hmmm - I don't see any "button" on this page -

bottom right, shows the IP address and location, with
"Set your custom location" below it.
Then you can select which satellite you want to track.

As noted by some other folks, the IP address is a decent guess, and I'm not
sure how much difference a location that's off by 20 miles would make for
this purpose, since you are only going to be looking at an area of sky,
where a difference of 10 degrees is probably insignificant.

For my Blackberry, connected through my Wifi, the Blackberry picks up a
"RIM" address in Canada, so that's off a bit ;-)
My home IP address is off by 90 miles, but it's almost due south, so the
effect is that the max altitude azimuth is off by 4 degrees, which I
wouldn't notice. The elevation is too high by 10 degrees, but I would see
it. The Timezone, oddly, is off by two hours. That would be a problem. I
was wondering how I was going to see a satellite in the day time.

You might visit ip2location, the site that n2yo uses to locate you, and see
if it is within 20-30 miles.

I dread to think how many times somebody technical in law enforcement has
had to explain to their superiors why it can't be done.
