I live in PA and when I log into Facebook it says that my IP address location is in CA.

Is there a way that I can fix the address to where I actually live?

bear in mind geo-location is a bit of a snake-oil situation. Where you are and where you appear on the net are usually totally different. My ip shows up as a different location because i use the net via a leased line to a different country. That's before proxies get involved. – Sirex Nov 2 '11 at 13:15

Facebook among other sites use comprehensive IP GeoLocation databases. You cannot alter these databases, but maybe your ISP has given you an address which is listed as being a CA IP.

On a site like IP2Location.com, you can check if the info provided about your IP address is correct.
