Answer 1

Try this
//Get Visitor's information
$visitorData = Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getVisitorData();
// printing visitor information data
echo "<pre>"; print_r($visitorData); echo "</pre>";
// user's ip address (visitor's ip address)
$remoteAddr = Mage::helper('core/http')->getRemoteAddr(true);
// server's ip address (where the current script is)
$serverAddr = Mage::helper('core/http')->getServerAddr(true);

In Magento, you have to get the remove/customer IP address in the following way
Print Mage::helper('core/http')->getRemoteAddr(true);

Answer 3

It's the IPV6 version of localhost.
Switch to ipv4 (if neccesary) by changing your apache listen port (in httpd.conf) to Listen 0.0.0.0:80 and restart apache. This forces the webserver to use the ipv4 ip. $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] will now return 127.0.0.1.
