i need some advice.
does $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'} always return a value?
I mean, I want to use it in my session table to increase security, but I aint too sure about this.
Also what happens if a local network uses one pc for their Internet? That would mean they have the same IP. Is there anyway to distinguish between them?

thanks
Pedge
