Ahh! Then get him to email you whenever he starts a new session (this could even be set up as a task for when his system starts up). You should be able to find out the IP address he is mailing from, from the headers in the email. (For example, your localhost is 192.168.2.167, and you are connected to wanadoo.nl as 85.144.207.123).
