is there anyway to eliminate duplicate guest entries on my "whos online" page? everytime an aol user logs in they generate 5 or 6 different unique IPs which is misleading

There's no way to get around this - The session will expire in 30 minutes (Or around there). It's not like it affects performance anyway

couldnt a simple script be written that would exclude IPs that are within a range X

Are you talking about two whole different things?

We can't check for duplicates because there simply is no way

let me clarify...
i have a bunch of IPs logged in...they are:
205.188.116.w
205.188.116.x
205.188.116.y
205.188.116.z

is there a way to filter out the duplicates at this level?

You can try writing a script yourself, however, unless you're very good at algorithms, you may want to watch your server load...

i guess im out of luck. i don't know that much about php or algorithms to implement this kind of feature.

The problem is, you can't just go off IP Address Ranges, because AOL has a whole bunch of them, and it would be a waste of time to look up them all.

And resolving the Hostname for every online user will only slow things down on Who's Online.
