There is no reliable way to map IP address to user. Many people, due to their ISP or network configuration will have a different IP address every time they connect to your box. You will need to use some sort of authentication mechanism to attempt to ensure that you only have valid users.

Further, if this is some sort of security measure, you should be aware that IP addresses can be spoofed.
