IP may be of limited use; what about players who are behind a
firewall doing NAT or PAT? If my wife and I are both playing a game
from home, for example, we'll both show up with the same IP. And,
in the case of telnet-based muds, several people can be playing from
one multi-user server.
Note that these two situations will also result in multiple players
being associated with the same MAC.

That doesn't follow, though. Ethernet isn't the only sort of
network hookup. A T1 interface doesn't have a MAC address; nor does
an internal DSL card, or an ATM adapter, or a Token Ring adapter...
(Some of these have another sort of hardware address, but not a MAC
address.)

If you're not on an ethernet, then quite possibly that field doesn't
even exist.
