This is probably related to the protocol that your client uses to connect to the Oracle server. If you use Bequeth or Netware for instance, there really isn't an IP address to speak of.

Hi Anne

I tried this on 9iR1

oracle:jupiter> sqlplus system/manager

SQL*Plus: Release 9.0.1.0.0 - Production on Wed Jun 25 20:45:54 2003

Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.0.1.0.0 - Production With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 9.0.1.0.0 - Production

SQL> select sys_context('userenv','ip_address') ip,username,machine 2 from v$session
3 where sys_context('userenv','sessionid')=audsid;

USERNAME

MACHINE

SYSTEM
jupiter

SQL> connect system/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Connected.
SQL> / IP

USERNAME

MACHINE

172.16.240.11
SYSTEM
jupiter

SQL> It looks like you need to use the service name when connecting to get the IP Address.

kind regards
Pete
