I'm seeing:65.55.109.211
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

in Who's Online on one of my forums with a strong interest on a member I banned a while back. Whois shows the IP belongs to Microsoft/msnbot/MSN Search. I thought MSN bot was supposed to identify itself???

Bots don't use Browsers.

* Dns resolved 65.55.109.211 to msnbot-65-55-109-211.search.msn.com

Sure does look like MSN bot. :tongue:

I saw an Ip similar from Google in the past. Didn't really id itself as Googlebot though. Was something to do with after setting up Adwords account, me thinks. Not that unusual these days..
