Re: [Fwd: [TMF4.1.1] lowlevel command to obtain endpoint ip address on NAT enabled TME]

Hi Alejandro,

I am not using the IP ADDRESS for validation!
I would like to provide it as part of the information to a person trying
to install an endpoint on a machine that's already registered as an endpoint
in the TME.

Thanks for your input,
Napo

IP address is too volatile to use it as a validation.
Besides that it can be faked.
I wouldn't trust it.
