[PHP] Wrong IP address
If your request is going through a proxy, $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] will contain the ip address for the proxy. The proxy might add a HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header to the request which will contain the ip address of the client to the proxy, which should be where the request originated. It is possible for a request to travel through several proxies and then the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header will be added several times. $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] if exists will contain the ip address of where the request originated if the request was proxied. $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] may be an array if the request was proxied several times.

You're going to have to explain why you think one is right and one is wrong. I can tell you that $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] always has the "correct" IP of where the HTTP request originated.

Are you on a highspeed connection or dialup. Dial up connections tend to give a different connection with every connection. Also if you use AOL, they've been known to just up and change your IP address. I know my broadband company can change mine too, if your connecting with on a DHCP server they can change the setting IP address aswell. There are several ways that you can receive a new IP address. Some ISPs offer the ability to purchase a "static" IP, you could check with your company and find out if they offer this. Just an idea!
