Hi all, I have been using socket programming to make my client and server. I ran into a slight problem, everytime the clients talk to the server the client name shows "client" and not as an IP address. Can anyone help me with my problem. And also help me with a banning command i can use to ban or kick/boot command. thanx

Probably not, unless you become more specific.

Ok basically what i'm trying to say is: Does any know how to close a connection with an unwanted IP address.

The accept method returns the remote address in addition to the socket representing the connection...there's also a getpeername method that returns the foreign address. The address is a pair (ip,port). All you need to do is check the address against a ban list and close the connection if there's a match.
