1) In both instances above you mean "e.g." and not "i.e."

2) In the above, "its" does not need an apostrophe (are you a grocer?)

3) A user's IP address is typically allocated when they reboot their
ADSL router (e.g. mine has been up for 128 days), and will remain
unchanged for that duration. Unless, that is, they asked their ISP for a
static IP address in which case it won't change at all.

4) So even with a dynamic IP address, to say that it's valid for one
page request only is complete nonsense.
