Hi there,

My guess is that your polling system resides on an intranet? I tried to
find a solution to the same problem a week ago, as in my case IP
addresses are dynamically assigned and therefore change daily per user.
Sadly, I could not find a solution. I would just use cookies and if
it is paramount that users do not vote more than once, make them login
before casting their vote.

Good luck,

Ed
