Answer 2

Hi, I have used this once, but only getting the State of a given IP. Have a look:

Answer 3

GeoIP

Warning: ISP and proxy is not equivalent to the peer so such service is always not so corerct.

Answer 4

Go here: MaxMind: http://www.maxmind.com/app/ip-location

It has IP conversion into: country, city, ISP version. Paid database, or free (lite) versions are available.

Their API is too stong. They allow to download a compressed binary file, and give PHP or other language APIs to access that database file to decode your IP into details. Interesting...
