>>Hi Dmitry,

>>why do you need the IP address? These days most computers have multiple of them. There's one for local access, one for the network card, one for the wireless card, maybe one for a mobile UMTS/HSDPA card, eventually some IPs for VPNs or other tunneling software. Plus since Vista you have everything as IPv4 and IPv6.

>Good question if I really need IP. I had a dual purpose when capturing the IP in the error log: 1. I thought maybe (just maybe) it will be useful. 2. I also wanted to learn how to do it (for the sake of knowing for the future).

>I know that a lot of sites use IP for something. For example, a while back I noticed that whenever I go to Yahoo to check my email, I see ads something like "young women want to meet older men in [town names]" where [town names] are actually all surrounding my town. First, being naive in the internet technologies, I thought, what a coincidence. I live around here and I like to meet young women too. Sounds like win-win {g}. But then I imagined myself on the street with my clothes scattered around and my wife standing by the winding and screaming at me (just imagine a scene from an Italian movie), I thought, eh,..maybe not {g}.

ROFL, I will be laughing for awhile; I do have an imagination. Thanks for the antics!
