Brenda,
Interestingly enough, My e-mail, Stephanie's E-mail, & Fizzpop's E-mail
all have a double IP Address.
They have the one that is from Mark's site, (I'm presuming),
and then they have their own below that.
I'm not sure what you're looking at. I see a single field in each of those.
X-Originating-IP: 255.255.255.255
(number altered for no particularly good reason)
Is the other one you're looking at in a Received: field?
However, you don't have two IP addresses viewable in the header in that
manner.
A difference is that I almost always post by email, not from the site. Your three examples were all posted on site.
Are you able to hide your IP address?
Yes and no.
As a Gmail user, were I to post from Gmail's web interface then my home IP address would not be revealed by Gmail. All the IP addresses in the inbound portion of the header would belong to Google.
That's another limitation of using IP addresses to track malcontent members: not all email services will reveal the user's IP address to you. And another is that the malcontent can use a proxy server, if they're concerned about it and a bit technical.
However, posting from Eudora on my PC, my home IP address is shown in the bottommost Received: field, on a line that shows my computer's name as well as my ISP. If you're looking in your email, the incoming Received: fields were re-written as X-Received:
