It must be the way I am doing it then because I have had the same results on
three web hosts in three countries.
AsiaHost, OnlyWebHosting, and BlueHost.
Here is what I did....
$domain=gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR);
print "<p align=\"center\">$domain</p>\n";
I just tried a fixed IP of Microsoft $domain=GetHostByAddr("207.46.20.30");
and that didn't work either.
