Little did they know that they were living in aDigital Hell.
But little did they know that their perfect home was linked with 600 million IP addresses.
Maxminds software had erroneously assigned James and Therese Arnolds retirement nest as default to the 600 million IP addresses.
MaxMind is a Massachusetts-based digital mapping company that provides location data for IP addresses in the United States.
Now the Arnolds have had enough with living in the Digital Hell and are suing Maxmind for their error.
James and Theresa Arnold sued MaxMind on Friday,filing a complaintin the US district court in Kansas.
The landlord also allowed the sons to hunt and fish on the surrounding 620 acres of land.
They felt that this was perfect retirement gateway for themselves and a perfect home for their kids.
But boy, were they wrong!
In the Arnolds case, their farmhouse was assigned as default address due to MaxMinds software glitch.
For Arnolds though, the case will be heard and finally, they will get some peace.
