    Hmmm... your server setup with a front-end proxy or anything? Looks like normal information about the end user (like IP address, user agent, etc.) aren't getting to the server for whatever reason.

    nope. not using any front end proxies. I can get it working but it looks like
    us82jsdd|1000|1800|4|1|MSIE-Firefox-Safari-Netscape-OperaMortgages81389

    I just split it so it just shows the links and it stops validating

    but that should narrow it down. So your server is supposed to get the end users ip info and stuff?

    No... but your server would need to see it.

    Can you change the echo $ad_network line to this please? 
    echo $ad_network . '<!-- ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . ' -->';
    PHP:
    Then we can see what IP address your server is seeing.

    Yeah... looks like it *is* going through a proxy or load balancer or something. You are going to need to talk to the server admin to ask if there is a way to see info about the "true" end user.

    This machine is hosting 3 sites. It seems to be giving the machine ip and not the website ip. Should it return the ip of the website that the ads are on?

    No, that code should be returning YOUR IP address.

    Still doesn't look like user agent is being seen by the ad_network PHP script...
