Hi Graham,
I am unsure to be honest, I can ping the client and ask though,
however, Remote_Addr returns a valid IP (pity its the same for each
client workstation due to it being a corporate network setup), its the
HTTP_X_Forwarded_For that is returning as an empty string or undefined
value.
Thanks,
Simon

Does the application happen to be running on Windows 2000 Pro with
Apache? I had this same issue and until I added one line into the
httpd.conf file, I was unable to to use the CGI.Remote_Addr as it would
return 0.0.0.0 or unknown.
