Is there a potential probelm if two users are using the same IP address
on their two different networks?

Sorry, that might not have been totally clear. The actual ICA
or RDP client that connects to the server reports it's IP address (ie.
That of the local machine) when the connection is established, this is
what you can see in the CMC or TSadmin !

Yup, the ICA (& RDP) protocol API's all report the actual IP
address of the connecting client and not the IP address that is being
routed through in this case ! It suck's but that's how the protocol
works unfortunately. You can't even tracert them because it's not a
valid IP address, unless anyone know's a way to ID the IP of the
connecting router involved and if so I'd love to know how (obviously you
can trawl though Winsock call's and inet stuff but is there a higher
level way to achieve this) ?

Just wanted to know if anyone has any thoughts on this. I check
our security logs every day and noticed something that to me at least,
is odd. A user logs in from home and said user has a broadband
connection and a wireless router (Linksys, netgear, that variety). If I
check the security log and look at when the user disconnected from their
session it has the EXTERNAL address provided by the ISP. However, if I
go into Citrix Metaframe Admin and look at their disconnected session
which is still hanging out there, hit the Information tab, it gives me
the internal address (192.x.x.x in this case) of the PC behind the
router. So, eventvwr gives the ISP assigned IP while MFAdmin gives the
interal IP. Anyone know why the difference?
