Randal... try this one...

function getClientIp()
{
	// This function get the IP of an user, even when he's behind a simple proxy
	// List of possible ip sources, in order of priority
	$ip_sources = array(
	"HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR",
	"HTTP_X_FORWARDED",
	"HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR",
	"HTTP_FORWARDED",
	"HTTP_X_COMING_FROM",
	"HTTP_COMING_FROM",
	"REMOTE_ADDR",
	);

	foreach ($ip_sources as $ip_source) {
		if (isset($_SERVER[$ip_source])) {
			$proxy_ip = $_SERVER[$ip_source];
			break;
		}
	}

	// If the ip is still not found, try the getenv() function without
	// error reporting. This will automatically provide a FALSE result
	// on failure
	$proxy_ip = (isset($proxy_ip)) ? $proxy_ip : @getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

	// Return the IP found
	return $proxy_ip;
}


This can help you to retrieve the right requester ip.
Later give me some feedback if it worked, please.


Regards,
