I am writing a scheduled task to go through user's periodically without Country/City etc. filled in and populate them using an IP look up against a GEO file (the free one from  http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity)

The problem is that I don't use the Sitelog and I can't find the user's last known IP address in DNN 4.x - is this stored in 5.x?

If not I can only do it whenever that user logs in again ;(

ps - I'm sure DNN used to do this at some point? What happened to it?

AFAIR last IP used is stored as well in ASPNET tables.

IP lookup is used in Countrylist control, unforunately this is not used any longer since extensible user profile has been introduced and code hasn't been moved to country profile property type control.

I think the sitelog is the only place that logs this in dnn unless there is a login error and then it's recorded in the event log. 

I used ListX - now named Open Web Studio - to create an auto-login module that also recorded the login with the ip address of the computer being logged in (a client wanted autologin based on ip adress and computer name referrer data in addition to the normal username login).  So, you can definitely write your own code to log a person's ip address and associated username or userid if they are logged in, have it recorded in a custom table added to the dnn database, and be able to run queries that would join that table to the appropriate user table for filling in the country data from your geo file.  Open Web Studio, btw, is free to use, very robust, good help on their user forum, paid priority support available, etc.  It does have a bit of a learning curve, but you can do just about anything with it including math, especially when there aren't any third party modules available that can perform the exact functions you need.  It basically sets up the platform for a non-programmer to write their own programs.  Definitely worth checking into it for your need.

Hmm - I checked them all with no joy Sebastian - aspnet_Profile seems the most likely, but it's not there, although there is a field called "Geolookup" which sounds interesting!  (not in aspnet_Users).

Is that for any DNN version or just 5? (I am on 4 still)

Pity, that was such a nice little usability touch for the user!

I disable my sitelog for performance reasons.

It means I can only do the check when a user logs on (or joins) - which is working well. I wanted to run a scheduler but it looks like I won't have that IP address... 

I REALLY need to check out OWS!! ;)
