Hi there,
Actually, MachForm already record the IP address, but it doesn't displayed within the email.
If you need to be displayed within the email, simply edit the email content template and insert this code:
{ip_address}that would the ip address into your email.

If you need to prevent multiple entries from the same "person" you can use the "Limit One Entry per User" option, which can be switched on in the Form properties. This may not work since several people might use the one PC therefore the same IP.
It works by comparing the user's IP address with entries already submitted to check if the IP already exists.
As per reply above, you can add the field {ip_address} to the mail sent to "You" in the email options, but exclude it from the user's email (the auto-reply containing the details of the submission).
If Machform had the ability to allow users to register and log on, and then submit the form, that would provide a more unique way of identifying multiple entries by one person.
A multi-user feature is coming in future release of this product I believe.
