    Sometimes the DHCP server will add the local IP address for the computer to the http request header.

    I assume what you mean is that all the users are behind NAT, and so all present as the same IP address. There's nothing you can do to avoid this, so you might want to look at another way of tracking individual users - using a cookie would probably be the best plan.
