Hi all.
Is there any legitimate reason the IP address from a client will
change between request? I am wondering if I can autheticate a session
by making sure they all come from the same IP. I realize that dial up
servers will assign a different IP to the users each time they
connect. Any help will be greatly appreciated. 5 2416
It is unlikely, but it is possible since proxy servers can do pretty much
whatever they want in this regard.

every page fetch/post is a new connection. some proxies use more than 1 nat
addresses, in this case the ip address can change on every page request.
also if there a pool of proxies, not uncommon, the proxies have their own
nat address, so the ip will change often.

Yes, they're going to change, and they're going to do it often. AOL is
particularly bad about this sort of thing; you can see IP address from all
over the map from one page request to the next from the same customer.
Proxies make this sort of thing unworkable for most sites.

Would Page.Session.Se ssionID work for you instead of this? I'd have
to agree with the other posters; IPs are not your answer here.

Hi,
in my ASP.NET app, I use a default Session Timeout of 20 minutes.
Everything works fine and Sessions are abandoned after 20 minutes.
This is exactly the behaviour I expect: After 20 minutes of inactivity
the Session becomes abandoned. But if a user starts a large downloads
which takes far over 20 minutes, the session becomes invalidated
during the download. So the next request after the download results in
an invalid Session error....

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
