On my site i want the ip for reference but i have a problem...

i am trying to set the ip as a cookie and it comes out as:

"ip=65%2E32%2E102%2E123"

My code is...

'-------------------------------------------------------

<%
'GET IP
Dim ipaddress
ipaddress = request.servervariables("http_x_for")
if ipaddress <> "" then
theip = ipaddress
else
theip = request.servervariables("remote_addr")
end if
if request.cookies("ip") = "" then
response.cookies("ip") = theip
response.cookies("ip").expires = date() + 365
'End of get ip!
else
end if
%>
'-------------------------------

now when i preview it in browser if i dont include theip step it shows the ip and if i use ipaddress it doesnt... I tried setting it as a cookie and it tells me that the headers are already written to... Where did i go wrong?

i don't your problem

i use xml document to save client ip

in session_start

objdom.load(application("manager_xml"))
set online=objdom.selectSingleNode("//main/online")
'set parts=objdom.selectSingleNode("//main/shop").childNodes

set NewNode=objdom.createElement("user")

set NewAttr=objdom.createAttribute("id")
NewAttr.NodeValue=session("id")
NewNode.SetAttributeNode NewAttr

set NewAttr=objdom.createAttribute("time")
NewAttr.NodeValue=date() & " " & time()
NewNode.SetAttributeNode NewAttr

set NewAttr=objdom.createAttribute("id")
NewAttr.NodeValue=session("id")
NewNode.SetAttributeNode NewAttr

set NewAttr=objdom.createAttribute("ip")
NewAttr.NodeValue=request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
NewNode.SetAttributeNode NewAttr

set NewAttr=objdom.createAttribute("gotime")
NewAttr.NodeValue=""
NewNode.SetAttributeNode NewAttr

set NewAttr=objdom.createAttribute("username")
NewAttr.NodeValue=session("name")
NewNode.SetAttributeNode NewAttr

I'm still trying to figure out why you are saving the IP on the client's cookie..

if you need their IP, simply use
Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST")

why set the cookie when the value is the exact same?
