You can check where the person is coming from based on their ip address. In
order to do that you need to have a database of all the ips in the world.
There is software/databases that will do just that. They are fairly
inexpensive and there are also free ones. You need to alter your current
store to check for this; IIS will not do it for you unless you make an ISAPI
filter. I have an example on my site if you want to look at it.
There are more sophisticated databases that will tell you the provider and
their actual region.
Hope that helps.
