I don't know too much about this, but IP checking is not a reliable way of identification anyway. Depending on how people connect to the internet, some people will have different IPs every time. Since I use a cable modem, my IP address rarely changes (if ever) so I use it as a safety net to prevent other users from accessing my files.
