@sysadmin1138 As far as I'm concerned, if avoiding spamming the front page was a concern, then they'd implement a "trivial edit" checkbox for high-rep users and mods.
@Iain Hmm, haven't been doing that. Probably should. I've been on a campaign to get the "unanswered questions" list down... either find a good answer and upvote it, or write an answer and hope someone else upvotes it.

Shouldn't the value match the IP of the computer that's requesting the script regardless of the fact that it's the same computer that's hosting the script?
I have a virtual machine with Mandriva 2007.0 (yes, old - unfortunately we do not have a choice here). Anyway, the problem:
Before reboot: active network interface = eth0. No other interfaces present, and network manager confirms this. Static IP address set to 172.31.2.22. No issues, everything ...
I have 2 PCs connected by a switch.
PC1--<-->--Switch--<-->--PC2
Both PCs have Windows 7.
Both are able to connect and share files with each other.
Both PCs can connect via remote desktop.

I've only experience in pointing a domain name to an IP address,
but never knows how do I point WAN IP address to a specific machine?
You can talk about it in either windows or linux,that's fine.
Today, our company is using an FTP Server to transfer files to clients, vendors and more.
Now, we want something more secure.
