Visitor Ip Address Is Incorrect

I noticed that the IP address being recorded is not always accurate. About 50% of the time is it showing the IP address of my server. The other 50% it is showing the correct IP visitor's address. It is very strange.

Not sure why that would happen. The function to get the IP address actually does it in a way where it should not do that. Is it the server IP address or some other?

It's the website IP on the server.

Something you can try (but I think it might show all visitors with the server IP address), is:
click Settings in the main menu
Under the left menu, click edit config file.
Add this line of code before the closing PHP tag ?>
$setup['only_use_remote_address_for_ip'] = true;

I added the php code and there's no change. About 50% of the visitors are logged with their own IPs and the other 50% are logged with the server IP.

You will need to email me FTP access so I can investigate why that server is doing that.

Tom, I emailed you the server info. it's still using the server IP for visitors that aren't logged into an account.
