    Last night I was involved in a conversation with a member from Indonesia who happens to be working and living in next door Malaysia at the present.
    When she replied the flag of Sweden appeared on her post. I then asked her if she was working in Sweden for the moment. She replied that she was still in Malaysia and could not explain as to why the flag of Sweden would have appeared on her post.
    This morning she sent me another message and the flag of Malaysia was displayed and all seems to be well.
    Can you explain what might have happened here?.......thanks.

    She used proxy or maybe her ISP redirected traffic through one?

    Ya could be but she is unaware and just as mystified as I am as to what happened. No big deal but I was just curious. I like to know where my contacts are *really* from.

    Probably just a mis-reported blocks of IPs by their ISP.
