What is an IP address I need to know so i can lock my message boards on all pages to not be able to be used by my to ex friends. If you tell me I will gladly change the chat board to a bravent.
Real world answer to you second question: save your time and energy. Unless your ex-friends have a permanent IP address, their IP address changes - every time they connect on dial-up; and any time they disconenct their computer from a cable network (or turn it off).
