IP Log

If I wanted the maximum information about a comment posted to the blog, what do I do. I can run the IP address, of course. Do we have any logs that can be used to view more information?

What kind of info are you looking for?

In an word -- anything. I've found the access log function in CPanel that shows where the person at this IP address went. I'm not certain what other information you can get. I'm not a networks guy, so I'm not sure what happens when two computers start nattering at each other over TCP/IP. Obviously the mu.nu server knows the IP address of the other computer -- is any other information logged? Someone mentioned an "IP Log". Is that different from the access log? Can I see it myself through CPanel or some other utility?

The only identifying information is the IP address. There's no separate "IP log".

Thought so. Luckily for me, it has turned out to be plenty. Thanks.
