Request.ServerVariables getting IP

Question

Good morning to all.

I am trying to get the IP of the client with:

C#

Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_HOST"] 
//or
Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"]

but I getting something like this:
REMOTE_ADDR = fc80::ad57:e86c:acc7:7779%10

I am assuming that it is encoded somehow Hex.
How can I translate that to the real IP or get the IP directly??

That was my original question, I have been getting routines here and there on the internet and none is capable to get a meaninful address like 127.0.0.1 or the like.

Anyone has a better idea?

For whatever is worth,
I just found that the fc80::ad57:e86c:acc7:7779%10 corresponds to the "Link-local IPv6 Address" specified in the network adapter properties detail in Windows 7. How can I get the IPv4 address??

TIA
Pete

Here is my Generic Utility for IP:

C#

/// <summary>
/// Get the current user (client) IP address
/// </summary>
/// <returns>IP address as a readable string</returns>
public static string GetUserIPAddress()
    {
    Page page = HttpContext.Current.Handler as Page;
    string ip = page.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ip))
        {
        string[] ipRange = ip.Split(',');
        ip = ipRange[0];
        }
    else
        {
        ip = page.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
        }
    return ip.Trim();
    }
