Hm, does it "see" NULL greater than now()? Replace NULL in expiry_time column with "0000-00-00 00:00:00" (that's what MySQL thinks null datetime is - it will match IS NULL). And in that previous query replace = NULL with = '0000-00-00 00:00:00'.
If this is so, sqlippool schema will need to be changed.
This works. Yes, i think the schema really needs a update. i have another question: when does the server free an ip-address? i tested a login with the same username within one minute and the server reserved two different ip-addresses. i thought, that the server will use the same ip-address for the second login, but the server doesn't. Which behaviour is the right one? -- NUR NOCH BIS 31.01.! GMX FreeDSL - Telefonanschluss + DSL für nur 16,37 EURO/mtl.!* http://dsl.gmx.de/?ac=OM.AD.PD003K11308T4569a
