Hi all,
I am experiencing some very weird behavior with our connection at the moment. We have business broadband and opted for 5 static IPs. Of course the sales department lied and gave us DHCP reserved IP addresses but thats another story.
Now - whenever I have surfed the net, remotely accessed another server or whatever - our IP address has always been recognised by the remote system. (for example, go to www.myip.com (http://www.myip.com/) or www.whatismyip.com (http://www.whatismyip.com/) to see what the outside world thinks your IP address is).
Recently, I have been unable to run scripts on remote servers or remotely control these servers as part of the security settings rely on IP. I've gone to www.myip.com (http://www.myip.com/) and for some reason, the outside world now thinks my IP address is 62.254.0.48 or 62.254.0.30 - these are NTL cache servers.
Now - I've done a lookup using this link (http://romulas.zmnt.co.uk/forum/vars.asp)posted on this thread (http://forum.nthellworld.co.uk/showthread.php?t=9354){http://forum.nthellworld.co.uk/showthread.php?t=9354} and from what I can gather, I get this info (which doesn't make sense to me at all):
Variables Value
REMOTE_ADDR 62.254.0.38
CLIENT_IP
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR 81.106.199.233
REQUEST_METHOD GET
SERVER_NAME romulas.zmnt.co.uk
SERVER_PORT 80
SERVER_PROTOCOL HTTP/1.1
HTTP_USER_AGENT Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
HTTP_REFERER http://forum.nthellworld.co.uk/showthread.php?t=9354
HTTP_CONNECTION keep-alive
Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on?
Thanks
Bob
