When IP addresses are changing frequently, users will be logged out and the
login screen will have the warning message "Error: IP address has changed.
Please log in again"

This is confusing  to users, and it is often unclear to the users that this is
a network issue, not a problem with with Koha. Furthermore, the library's IT
staff may claim that the IP addresses have not changed, which puts the user in
a very difficult position.

C4/Auth.pm defines the variables 'oldip' and 'newip' in addition to
'different_ip'.

I would suggest changing

[% IF ( different_ip ) %]
<div id="login_error"><strong>Error: </strong>IP address has changed, please
log in again </div>
[% END %]

to

[% IF ( different_ip ) %]
<div id="login_error"><strong>Error: </strong>IP address has changed from '[%
oldip %]' to '[% newip %]', please log in again </div>
[% END %]

This message gives users (and anyone supporting them) the evidence to back up
the claim that the IP address has changed.
