No, it could very well be the IP of a proxy or of a dial-in modem

But if you have a fixed IP yourself, you van very well do something special
like excluding yourself from public counters:

<% If request.serverv ariables("remot e_addr") <> "123.123.123.12 3" then %>
..... clientside public counter code, like http://www.nedstatbasic.net/ ..
<% End If %>

Request.Serverv ariables("REMOT E_ADDR") - will give you the IP
Request.Serverv ariables("USER_ AGENT") - will give you browser (User Agent)
information.
Request.Serverv ariables("HTTP_ REFERER") - will give you the page/site the
person came from
Request.Serverv ariables("URL") - will give you the name of the page

There are all kinds of things you can do with this information, like roll
your own stats, if you don't have access to raw server logs.

You can also do rudimentary browser sniffing. For example, IE does not
support position:fixed so you can serve IE a style sheet that uses
position:absolu te instead. But, please do not use browser sniffing to do
something silly like "You have to use IE to view this site".

Obtain real IP address of client

by: Brian Cryer | last post by:

What I'm looking for is a way to tell if two sessions are from the same physical PC or from different PCs (within the same organisation say). This is with the view to possibly enforcing license restrictions, i.e. limiting the number of pcs that user account can connect from (say to 1 perhaps 2) but not the number of open sessions that user can have. So, with that in mind I was wondering whether it was possible to obtain the local IP...
