Assuming ADS would like to automatically show your resolver links for you by figuring out your institution using your IP. As it stands now, someone at your institution (me for all of JH) has to tell ADS the resolver settings and then individual users have to pick their institution off a dropdown once they've logged in.

The IP lookup functionality itself seems to be working:

For example:
http://www.worldcat.org/registry/lookup?IP=128.143.23.98

A specific IP address lookup failure typically indicates a data quality issue,  such as the registry does not have complete or up-to-date IP address information.
