I knew it! :)

So if someone on the net sees the URL and it has session id in it, 
that session can be stolen?

I think a session should be from the same IP all it's life, and this
should be build into php. Internal networks will be seen as the same
ip, so session can be stolen by somebody else in the same internal net,
but not from outside of it.

Now tell me what's wrong with my opinion, b/c it's too simple to work :)
