1 User with 2 IPs?
« on: July 22, 2009, 04:55:37 PM »
Since a few weeks I see in the admin panel an user with 2 IP addresses...



How is this possible? It's always the same user and for the whole session, he's online with both IPs.

are these IPs always the same?
did you try trace/"whois" them?

Some ISP use proxies (AOL) and each client's request can come from different IP...
Your first three "must do" before you ask a question:

Don't know exactly.. cause the IP won't be logged. Today they are the same (but this can change via dynamic IPs).

Yes, the provider is (both) bluewin.ch: "BLUEWIN-3PLAY-NET"

This could be the problem. I know the user, but he doesn't know anything about it. Maybe Bluewin offers 2 IPs its user.
