Check if you have proxy enable to access your website. Also make sure you have a different IP before test this behavior.

new counter-get_real_ip-990886-2.patch850 bytes

Mas bro, I'm having similar issue, I tried the codes available at some blog. Eh, copied the php code as is.

It checks some other server variable for proxy redirection etc, I think.

Amazing there are so many "HTTP FORWARDED" like variables, e.g:
HTTP_PRAGMA, HTTP_XONNECTION, HTTP_CACHE_INFO, HTTP_XPROXY, HTTP_PROXY, HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION, HTTP_CLIENT_IP, HTTP_VIA, HTTP_X_COMING_FROM, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_X_FORWARDED, HTTP_COMING_FROM, HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_FORWARDED, ZHTTP_CACHE_CONTROL

But for temporary quick I aggree to follow this simple check from: http://roshanbh.com.np/2007/12/getting-real-ip-address-in-php.html

Will be upload 6.x-2.23 soon, I am working on it now.

Counter 6.x-2.23:
Fix: Detect real IP whenever behind Proxy
Fix: Remove "view counter" on Permissions page, because we already have "Show block for specific roles" in Blocks Configuration
Fix: Remove README.TXT, use http://drupal.org/project/counter instead

See #5, since many HTTP FORWARDED like variables need to be test, please create separated issue if you found path #2 not cover your environment.
