Getting IP Addresses using PHP on Windows

Right, I have a speed test on a windows box which saves the results of the test to a database with IP and Hostnames, the script is PHP and below, the problem I have is that the IP address is not saved and the field inserted in to the database is blank, but the hostname is saved correctly.

The same script works fine on a linux box, could anyone tell me how I could fix this, the code I use to get the IP is located below.

Code:

<?php

if ($mysql == True) {
$link = mysql_connect($database["host"], $database["login"],
$database["password"])
or die("Could not connect");
mysql_select_db($database["database"])
or die("Could not select database");

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$name = gethostbyaddr($ip);
$query = "INSERT INTO readings (speed, ip, name) VALUES ($kbps, '$REMOTE_ADDR', '$name')";
$result = mysql_query($query)
or die("Query failed");
}

?>
