I would'nt worry about it, I've done similar things in the past and , have been informed I'm in France, fair enough, I always thought I lived in the U.K. though! Grin

IP is relevant to the server being used to make the connection. I have five different servers I can connect to, all in different cities. My IP will change when I use any of the other servers.
