Not everyone has a static IP address and some people use more than one computer to access the site. Auto-login is available with the use of cookies. Go to My Org and then Auto-Login

Nope, it doesn't work that way. For example, for all of AOL there are only about 1000 IP addresses. And, each user will come from a random one, or even change IPs during a session. So makes it kind of hard to know who is who. (And it's more than just AOL--many large providers are like this.)

Besides, that would be a very insecure to go by IP address. Use auto-login if you just don't want to have to retype your password each time you come (or use Firefox or a browser that will intelligently remember your credentials...)
