*blink* Sorry, this answer makes no sense at all. Cookies are not relevant
to this question and how are you suggesting that ip addresses give you a
methodology to access the referrer?
Easiest way is to look at your web's server logs. Any log analysis program
will give you information on referrers. This is not something that cookies
deal with, since the site that was the referrer would set the cookie and
your site could not read a cookie set by another site. If you are running
Apache I can give you a more detailed answer. Don't know enough about other
web servers offhand, but it shouldn't be hard to get the info you want.

the answers...)
