Duplicate users under multiple IPs – Can not use Whitelist

    I have an issue with white listing.

    The field which displays your current IP shows my IP as a new address every time I refresh the page however my IP is static.

    This feature was working fine until about 6 days ago. I used it for about 2 months.

    This problem also results in additional identical users being generated which can never log out or at least not until they time out.

    Has any one else reports this happening? I am on hostmonster so if its server related bluehost users will likely have the same issue.

    Updating this closed thread as it may help someone avoid the headaches I experienced.

    After considerable testing on my part (since the 10th of December) it appears that the issue was related to my internet provider (Spark NZ – formally Telecom NZ) and the caching servers. I had them remove my server IP from the caching system and a few hours later the problem was gone. Other side issues created from the problem like duplicate users have also gone. I had to remove them manually but the site is no longer creating new users with each page load.
