IP Address lookups are never very specific as to location. I looked your IP up on 4 different sites. 2 said Phoenix, one said Las Vegas and the fourth one listed 3 possible locations, Las Vegas, Henderson NV. Doing a straight ARIN database lookup it shows COX as the ISP and shows that they are based out of Georgia. If you don't want to do this, you could also change the IP range used by your local router. This means that your local IP address may still change from time to time, but the range of addresses will be different. Your IP address may change from 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.10.10, for instance.
