If you had a lot of members then the database would soon be FILLED with IPs, that's why vBulletin doesn't log them by default whenever they login - only when they make posts.
This is because people who use dialup always change their IPs everytime, so lots of IPs to record then
OK...I got phpmyadmin, and can get ip's from users' posts thru sql. That should do fine for now, though ideally I'd get the ip's from authenticated users.
The long story is: we're a corporate employee bb, and are trying to decide if we can take it to intranet, or leave it internet. The deciding factor is how many emps use the board from home. My bosses are ok with just getting how many emps 'post' from home, and use that number as in indicator.
Anywho...thanks for your help. It's greatly appreciated.

You can search users by their IP addresses, or search all users for a specific IP address.
