Is there something else I need to turn on that I'm missing?

why totaly rely on cookies for the ip...as a typical ip can change, why not
use the actual hostname? I guess anyone could just as easy change an ip
as they are not constant...but how easy is it to avoid your hostname, other
then going over to a friends house, thus using another connection.

IE:

The IP Address is: 92.113.147.159
The host name is: 159-147-113-92.pool.ukrtel.net

Tomorrow this IP number may change, but the host name will not...vb uses
this in their ip tracking/banning options.

however, I am not 100% certain on how all this works...whoever is
working on this hack probably would have a better understanding
on what I am talking about and if it would work or not.
