Confusing Log In Dates

I rarely go to my member dashboard, but today I did for some reason (logged in through SSO, thus the posting here). Usually I check the Events, the Forums, and from time to time my Statistics (again, log in through SSO).

 

Today I noticed on the link below the Members Tab under Member Help/Dashboard that in the lower right corner there was a block that was headed by "Last 5 Logins". That block showed three columns headed by ID #, date, and IP address. Never really paid attention to that, but for some reason my attention was drawn to it today.

 

I have no idea what the ID# means, but the most recent date for login was listed as 2/20/2015 from an IP address that I do not recognize. The second most recent is the only one I recognize...mine, but it was in January 2015. I am in the forums and logged in to VATSIM almost daily, including today, so I don't understand the 2/20/2015 most recent date.

 

What does this data mean and how can I find out who, what, and where the unknown IP address originates?

Hi Randy,

 

I looked at mine. The last 5 logins appear to refer to the last 5 logins to the member dashboard. If you log out and log back into it, you will see the new login.

Thanks Tim, I'll bet the strange IP is from work when I would log in to check the forums. Here at home I never log out. At work I would log out and then have to sign back in through SSO. I think that's probably a good explanation.
