MyBB Community Forums

Hello MyBB,
So this is going to be a odd question.. Now this has been an issues for almost a year now, when I first started my forum. It is now near completion and I am trying to finish the odds and ends I left for later. 

First off, my forum is for my xbox clan and my minecraft server, so I m running it off of a virtual machine with XAMPP. I have everything working alright but the IP. At first the IP's were all the same, coming up to the local address, 10.0.2.2, and then I was reading online trying to find new get_ip codes thinking that was the issue. After a few days trying to figure it out, I just added more IP registration allowed in a day for the time being. Today I am back at it and tryign to find solutions. I read online that it was supposed to be a init.php issue or something and I should put the following code under <?php

Code:

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REAL_IP'];

But all that did was put a big gap on the header of my forum. I tried placing this code a bit lower on and it didnt change anything BUT, the IP changed from 10.0.2.2 to, "unknown" So I am assuming I am somewhat on the right track? My get_ip code from the functions.php goes as followed:
Code:

function get_ip()
 {
     global $mybb, $plugins;
 
     $ip = strtolower($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
 
     if($mybb->settings['ip_forwarded_check'])
     {
         $addresses = array();
 
         if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))
         {
             $addresses = explode(',', strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']));
         }
         elseif(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REAL_IP']))
         {
             $addresses = explode(',', strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REAL_IP']));
         }
 
         if(is_array($addresses))
         {
             foreach($addresses as $val)
             {
                 $val = trim($val);
                 // Validate IP address and exclude private addresses
                 if(my_inet_ntop(my_inet_pton($val)) == $val && !preg_match("#^(10\.|172\.(1[6-9]|2[0-9]|3[0-1])\.|192\.168\.|fe80:|fe[c-f][0-f]:|f[c-d][0-f]{2}:)#", $val))
                 {
                     $ip = $val;
                     break;
                 }
             }
         }
     }
 
     if(!$ip)
     {
         if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))
         {
             $ip = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']);
         }
     }
 
     if($plugins)
     {
         $ip_array = array("ip" => &$ip); // Used for backwards compatibility on this hook with the updated run_hooks() function.
         $plugins->run_hooks("get_ip", $ip_array);
     }
 
    return $ip;
 }

Also, yes my "Scrutinize User's IP address?" is at yes and first option is at auto. That was the first thing I tried.

Thank you.
