Log: How to exclude yourself?

Do not count ME as visitor please... How?

[silverbytes]

I'm using Absolute log analyzer for logs. Download my raw log and the soft gives me some info.

But I can't exclude myself of being counted as visitor...
My IP floats... (ADSL connection)...

How do you actually exclude yourself to being counted as visitor of your own site?

Ideas please?
Thanks!

If you are assigned a different IP every time you log on then the only way to do this (I think) is to discount the entire IP range which your ISP uses for ADSL access. Someone else might be able to come up with another solution for this.

I got around the problem by using norton firewall as it allows you to change the ua according to the site you're visiting, then filter the ua out of the logs.

leaving of the entire range means users with same isp will not be counted either... am I right?

[edit_g]

am I right?

Yup. This is the downside of that method.

The price is too high... I prefer to add some extra visits than leave off all users of one of the biggest ISPS of my own country. (And most of visits come from my country).

I'm sure everybody has the same problem... how do you fix it.?

I don't want to install a firewall....

You could go into the registry and change your browsers user agent string to something unique so you could recognize and filter them out of your logfiles. For example:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent

You would need to make or edit three string values "Compatible", "Version" and "Platform" to your desired unique identifier.

Sounds good! But sounds like I'm gonna screw my system too :). Is that safe? Would you mind to give me some other details?
Thank you!
