Method for geographically network equipment on a communications network, such as the Internet, using communication times to and from the network equipment to be located. Communication time measurements are taken from measuring stations on the network to the equipment to be geographically located and also to other locations of known and unknown location. The probability of the network timing characteristics from the measuring stations to the equipment to be located being most similar to the network timing characteristics of said measuring stations to other equipment of know location is calculated to determine the geographical locations having the highest probability of being proximate to the equipment to be located.
