If you developed the logging software in-house, it was probably developed with some goal in mind. Either this goal was not of any use to your colleagues, or they don't see it yet.
I'd say: make sure logging calls is useful to them as well, or at least make it obvious how useful it is to the rest of the business in general. As long as it's just another burden on their daily work, you'll never get you colleagues to use the logging tool to its full extent without that iron fist...
Wouldn't it be easier to use e.g. bluetooth or cell broadcasts on mobile phones people are bound to carry with them anyway? The way I understand it (I might be missing something of course), this is just a way to showcase RFID where other techniques might have been more appropriate...
Although I must admit it's nice to hear some positive angle on the use of RFID after all the privacy issues etc.:)
I might be wrong, but I think another important thing with ipconfig is that it provides you with the Mac (Physical) Address of the laptop, so you actually know which system it really is...
My guess would be that that is the main reason it is used, as indeed, the external IP can indeed more reliably be collected from the webserver.
