Chamara,

That would be extremely insecure. Any two year old could bypass that
"security" (just copy the .ini file to the home PC) Not only that, but it'd be a major nightmare to set up and administer, because you'd need to get file sharing or file transfer configured between the PC and the server -- and all of the necessary security for that.

If you want to control which IP addresses a user can sign on from, use a firewall or an exit program. If you want to authenticate their PC cryptographically, use a VPN or SSL client certificates.

Actually my requirement is this, we have clients all over the world
and they are accessing our server to make transactions, some users
accessing our server from their home we want to stop this so we are
giving a exe file which has a validation with ip addresses and this
exe will plant a .ini file in C drive.

When users are login I want to check this .ini file is in C drive and
its content are correct.

Please note that All users are having fixed IPs and we have a
database of them. We need dual control that's is the man reason I'm
looking such method.
