It seems after reading all the reports of accounts being suspended I have been intimidated. In fact I refuse to even come close to a GG ad on my site with my curser.
This seems ridiculus...
Unless you're testing the hotel PC's mouse speed by clicking on your site's ads, I don't think you have anything to worry about. :-)
Working in front of a PC all day, one gets bored too.
I am not so concerned with the IP to one day click an ad, but creating a giant list of IPs on Googles side may not only look strange, but may put you into the "high maintenance" category.
I have two homes and I emailed adsense once and said I will be at this place now, here is the IP and the country specifics of where I would be, and Adsense sent me back a letter thanking me for letting me know and that it will be ok, as well as a little statement about how they discourage users from logging in from various IPs all the time. I see how this can pose a problem for dynamic IP folks out there, but I am not going to test their patience my logging in excessively to check things that can be checked when I get home. Looking at it daily is not going to make it grow any faster.
Why do people feel the need to check so often? Just leave it alone, you're either going to get a check or you're not. It's not like you can change the ads that are being delivered to your page anyway.
It's very important to do this to ensure a regular flow of data in and out of the googleplex. As any sysadmin knows, data channels which are not in use for longer periods of time degrade due to so-called "sticky bits" and broken-down TCP/IP packets originating from cheap ethernet cards which accumulate in the bends and at router connections. Therefore we can all do our part to keep google's network connections clean by frequently accessing different parts of the site.

Are we talking about computers or prostate glands? :-)
I use my PowerBook G4 all over the world to remote log into my Windows XP at home to check AdSense with Gotomypc.
I consider the fear some publishers have about checking their stats from multiple locations or from their dynamically assigned IPs to be paranoia, but for those who are looking for solutions here's another which I mentioned in the thread Logging into AdSense account remotely [webmasterworld.com]. And I didn't mention it in that post, but just about anyone with a cheap router such as any recent Linksys router can add Pentium II running a modern distro of Linux to their network, configure the router to route port 22 SSH traffic to it, use a free SSH client like Putty to connect to their home/office IP, then use a text browser like lynx to browse the web. No commercial software required, no monthly fee, just an 8 year old computer (well under $100 for all the hardware you'd need off of something like eBay including shipping) and a router you likely already have installed.
EFV, you've got TCP/IP packets in yours? ;)
Not exactly, but the emissions are binary. :-)
