IP Adress!!!

[vidiware]

Does anybody know how to log the ip adresses, on the sites you visit, or to the people who visit your site?????????

Can't help you there. All I know is that I have a dial-up, and every time I dial-up to connect, the IP changes.

Depends on the server your running. When you have it at home it's easy, you can simply see who is asking anything of it, where he is, his OS, browser info and screen resolution.

[ some cases some other things as well ]

When you use a free web based webpage you can place "taps" on it by companies that provide those services. Like Netstat.

People who block certain information can in some cases still be "traced" by the use of some cookies and a JAVA script.

To log ip addresses on sites, open MS-DOS Prompt, type in "ping URL" without quotation marks, and replace URL with the actually url (including http:// and the www if any!), this will display the ip address and the latency from you to that site and back.

To log the ip addresses from the people that have visited your website, it depends if you have a serverside database or not. If you have access to database and/or serverside languages, then you can do it. If not, no can do.

You don't need a database just to log the visitors of your site ?

Just a running HTTP server will do the trick. Most of them [ the good ] ones have a logfile option. But then you just get the IP's. No, more. And it's stored in a simple TXT file so crossrefferance isn't easy as well.

What you are saying Acriku is better [ more compleat then mine ] but you don't need that mutch just to be able to log the IP adress of the visitor of your site.

If you whant to log it like here on Fed2K [ in the web page itself for example ] you do need it. But if a TXT on your HD with the IP's of the visitors is enough a lot less can do the trick. :)

So don't exually know how he wants to store the IP's ?

That's how I was taught how, but thanks for the correction  :)

I'm on cable, got a strange IP

[gryphon]

How can you have a strange IP ?

[ unless you already have an IP7 adress ;D ]

I'm not shure about this but if you are behind a router you can't ping any external systems. The router usually blocks all ping requests from the internal net to the external net. You just get a "host not found" message.

If you have an Dsl accont, and the line is going trough the 'admins' -> network, then you'll get a network ip:

10.XX.XX.XXX or something else you'll get a 127. in network and any other with a modem/ single adsl / with one computer!!!! 8)

[gryphon]

It could be me but I fail to see what you're saying vidiware. ::)

[vidiware]

Sorry, I can repeat

Thanx for the Ping -> command in dos where you gets the servers ip!

But i need to log ips on my html, site, www.vidiware.cjb.net -> its not finished yet!

I need help, how to log this!!

one person said he had a strange ip!

This is because he is behind a dsl router (or something similar to this), then he gets a ip adress that is strange:

10.xx.xx.xx.xx but in a regular network/internet you often gets 127.xx.xxx.xx ++

I hope you undestand, the second post was just an answer on a  person who had a strange ip, i thought it was an answer

Sorry!!
