Paul,

If they are registered, and connected "directly or constantly" to the Internet, such as with WEB servers, the server is generally assigned a fixed IP address.

Exactly. Every computer in a fixed network environment retains a unique IP address. You don't need a Clipper II chip to identify a computer in a network.
