Public & private key encryption topped off with a login?

One may be assigned an IP address by one's ISP and it may differ from
login to login.
One may pay hard earned cash to have a fixed IP address.
besides, what happens if one chooses to login from an Internet cafe?
ISP stuff will differ yes?

What? Ask your ISP. It is either static or dynamically assigned.

It doesn't. If you give your log on name and password to me, I can log on
and they will think it's you.

On Sunday 05 March 2006 01:18 pm, jwm had this to say in
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general:
It doesn't know if it is YOUR computer. You can log on from any computer
once you know the username and password to use to log in to a particular
forum.
All requests from a computer to a web server is accompanied by the IP
address of the computer, so the web server knows where to send the
requested object.
