Where is Aximsite located?

Now it's my turn to ask a newb question... Where is Aximsite (geographically)?

The posts times are seven hours later than my own time zone. That would suggest somewhere around England if the clock is correct. Am I right?

The AximSite clock defaults to GMT, until you set it to your Time Zone in Forums > Control Panel > Edit Options. (The same Page where you change your Avatar).

AximSite really has no geographical location, itself, the server certainly would, but I've no idea where that would be (but could probably track it down with a whois/whereis type of search.

Visual Traceroute pegs the location of the server at Atlanta, GA.

Ah that makes sense... I change my own time zone and it changes the times my posts says.

What an odd time zone to set to by default. We all start GMT (in England time zone) unless we change it. Odd.

Well thanks y'all.

Not odd at all, most sites default to GMT (or UT as it's sometimes referred to [Universal Time]).

It's the standard for most anything, worldwide, times are ultimately set according to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Other nations have an Atomic Clock, but their "base" is usually figured from UT.

Almost everything except M$ which uses Redman, Washington as the default setting on most of its OS's. :crooked:

should be english! GMT go!

GMT is an arbitary measure chosen because the British resolved the navigation issues (latitude and Longitude) and (at the time) had access to the most accurate time-keeping equipment.

Dude, Visual Tracert is an awesome app!! I swear, I've gotten more tips this weekend for PC related apps . . .
Is there a freeware version of this application? :D

Well it goes much beyond that. You are seeing BellSouth's hardware in Atlanta. Aximsite is actually hosted by SIMPLECOM in Tuscaloosa, AL.

You already have one, but not visual.

Open up your command prompt and type

Code:

tracert aximsite.com

Thanks James. I'm familiar with the tracert command, i just like the GUI on the Visual app. It is a resource hog, so I think I am going to stick with the old CLI ;-). DOS will never die!!! LOL

Well, I've used it for years when I was in front of a HP-UX workstation. Its a great command, quick and easy.
