xxx.yyy.com (or 123.123.23.12) --
this is the host name or Internet
Protocol (IP) address associated
with the requester. In this case,
(....com) the requester is coming
from a commercial address. Depending
on the requestor's method of network
connection, the host name (or IP
address) may or may not identify a
specific computer. Connections via many Internet
Service Providers (ISP) assign
different IP addresses for each
session, so the host name identifies
only the ISP. If the computer has a
fixed IP address, that address may
still be masked if your request is
routed through a proxy server. Most
ISPs and company Web sites use proxy
servers to route Internet traffic.
The host name (or IP address) may
identify a specific computer only if
that computer has a fixed IP address
and is not routed through a proxy
server.
