that also returns ::1

Peter 2010-03-20 05:29:50

Could it possibly be an IPv6 address?

Answer 3

A:

There are two possibilities here:

the address is ipv6. this has already been pointed out so i think this isn't the case
there is a firewall running on the server. as you say this is your local web server, check for any firewalls on it as some firewalls do block the server information.

Let know how it goes.

Answer 4

+1 A:

::1 is the IPv6 equivalent of 127.0.0.1 - see http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/erx/erx50x/swconfig-routing-vol1/html/ipv6-config5.html The long form of that is
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 - but the :: stands in for the run of 0's.

PHP $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] returns ::1
