Answer:
I'd be surprised if there is anything standard for this, but there is a User Exit in the logon procedure and a FM (which if you do a search for User IP in the ABAP forum you'll get the name of) which would allow you to check this.
I imagine you'll be creating your own PID to store this information in?

I agree, I don't recall coming across any standard functionality to do this.
What is the risk you are trying to mitigate by this approach? it may be cheaper to do something else.
Answer:
I'm interested in why you'd want to restrict in this fashion. Normally it matters what a user can do once logged on rather than where they log on from.
It seems to me that even if possible, you'll be making a rod for your own back - what e.g. happens when a user moves job/location in the normal course of events or evenh for holiday relief? What about disaster recovery when its a matter of any old screen will do? And what about a physical reorganisation ? Sorry but I don't understand.
