Hi,

generally speaking, it is a good idea to use the MultiUser Xtra
to get the user's IP, because I doubt that most users actually
know there IP or how to look it up, especially if they're connected
to a DHCP server or using a dial-up connection, which gives
them a different IP each time they connect.

Unfortunately, there's no internal way to get the IP address
in Director, but using the MU-Xtra is safe and a good way to go.

Martin.
