I have a hidden form field to capture the user's IP address. The short code in the form field is {ip}. I have had 34 submissions so far, and when I view the entries, it shows all the IPs as being the IP of the machine I'm on right now. What's up with that?

IP address capture is only showing my own IP

Why are you storing the user's IP address as a hidden field? The IP address is already captured when a form is submitted. There is no need to add a field to it unless you need it within post content if you are using a form to create a post.
See this screenshot, 3rd item down:
The IP address stored here is the IP address of the machine that submitted the entry.

Probably because I'm an idiot. Or most likely, it's been a few months since I've worked with GF. ;)
Thanks!
