It could be a quirk with Fl_TeacherTool as well. This is the command it
runs to match Usernames/IP addresses:

     netstat -t -e -n | grep :6000 | grep -w ESTABLISHED |\
     sed -e 's/:/ /g' | awk '{print $9,$6}' | sort | uniq


If I'm reading that correctly, it does not care whether the source
or destination is established on port 6000. This probably matters.

If you still see the foreign ip address in Fl_TeacherTool, pop open a
terminal shell and run this:

 	netstat -t -e -n | grep :6000 | grep -w ESTABLISHED

That should tell us whether or not it is a bug in Fl_TeacherTool.
