Abstract

See full text

There is disclosed a method, system and program product for automatically adjusting location based system information in a mobile computer to reflect the time zone where a user of the mobile computer connects to the Internet, as a function of the geographic location of the IP address of the connection, as seen by an address server remote from the connection place. A table mapping the IP address of the computer with each other IP address where the mobile computer connects to the Internet and corresponding time zone data is constructed with minimal user interaction each time a new Internet connection is made. Thereafter, anytime the user connects to the Internet at an IP address in the table, location based system information is appropriately adjusted with no intervention by the user.
