Your webserver already does that: get a copy of your access_log file.
Or you can use a service that logs client IPs, browser, referer, etc. I use http://getclicky.com/ which offers that and is free.
can you connect people to their actual posts that way? trying to remove liability for peoples posts by logging their ip address.

Liability?
The log will show what URL the IP address visited and what the referrer URL was if any.
It won’t connect people, just show you the IP address. Most services will provide you some info such as what browser, country of origin etc.
The easiest way to see the reports is to sign up for Google Analytics, Get Clicky, or the service of your choice and just see what they offer.
