ClientIP problem

[djames]

Hello ANYBODY and ALL,

In our office we use FMP6Unl to host our Intranet site (used for sales). I use the clientIP tag to destinguish wich AccountManager scored an order. This works fine for a while (5-10 minutes), but after a while the ClientIP does not show the users IPAddress anymore, but instead the gateway address. (using IE6 with latest SP and WinXP/2000).

Does anybody have any ideas?

Please help a disturbed world citizen.

Try [FMP-ClientAddress], maybe it will work better.

Or create some login for user database.

Or just have each AccountManger credit themselves through an id code or dropdown if it's not too cumbersome. They know not to complete a sale from someone else's computer?

Sorry, I haven't used IP tags but I can see how it makes it easier for your sales staff if they don't have to do anything but sell. Everyone has static IP's and the gateway/router isn't splitting a single IP amongst those users, huh? Weird. --ST

Or even better - set a "-token" that you can create per user or session when they login, that is some sort of random code, and always pass that through from page to page, and then you can validate on that.

Eamil me off list if you need more info on tokens and how to implement.

I am using the [FMP-clientIP] tag. I am trying to maker sure that the sales people don't have to manually fill in the information, a lot of people are lazy.
