Not really!! :) Here's what happens (sort of): 1. i request a URL on my computer 2. it talks to my ISP 3. my ISP talks to anywhere from 2 to 20 (or more) servers along the way 4. finally connects with the requested URL (your server with PHP) 5. page comes back thru the 2 to 20 servers 6. arrives at my ISP 7. gets sent to my computer 8. I look at the page So, which one of these computers are you trying to get the IP address of?
