Keeps giving different results - two machines on the same network, at
one point - I had the same IPv6 address on both! (No caching).
Dunno where "2607:f740:90::ea32607:f740:90::ea3" comes from, refresh
gave "2607:f2f8:a7d0::22607:f2f8:a7d0::2" - then it switched to IPv4 "
200.7.84.10200.7.84.10" (doubling the address length..).
Coolest was getting my Laptops address on my servers browser - just
displayed twice.

Wondering what the following would show...
<?php print $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>
