Our secondary goal is to provide a phpBB2 MOD Author and Styles area.
to appear in the Sessions table? Of course the obvious of browsing PHPBB from the same LAN as the servers would account for this - what about other possibilities?

These IP ranges cannot be routed on the external networks like the internet. Maybe someone uses an obfuscation service and this service shows up as if it were in the private ranges. Never trust IP adresses and their connected DNS entries.

Yes, that was our thinking as well. One of the particular users that we noticed were appearing this way were showing a private lan block IP inside PHPBB but the firewall and server logs were showing their true internet IP. Do you think this was intentional behavior on the part of the user? _________________ http://www.jlaforums.com
