friends,
i have used the following code for checking ip address but it is not giving exact ip address
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C#

public string IpAddress()
      {
          string strIpAddress;
          strIpAddress = Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
          if (strIpAddress == null)
          {
              strIpAddress = Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
          }
          return strIpAddress;
      }
      protected void btnipcheck_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          string str;
          try
          {
               str = IpAddress();
               Session["ip"] = str;
               Label1.Text = Session["ip"].ToString();
          }
          catch
          {
              Label1.Text = Session["ip"].ToString();
          }
      }

Solution 2

Of course it's giving you 127.0.0.1! You're testing it on your DEV machine! The request doesn't go out to the internet and back in so it's not going to use the 10.x.x.x route.

If you want the IP the request came from, you'll have to run the site on a seperate machine. Then you can make a request from your machine and get the real IP address.

He's a wacked idea: TEST IT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!

strIpAddress = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
that's working for me to get client IP.
of course you must host your site and browse from another machine.
My 5 for Dave.

I use this in a Windows EXE program:

string strHostName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName();
string strIPAddress = "";
System.Net.IPAddress[] objAddressList = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(strHostName).AddressList;
for (x = 0; x <= objAddressList.GetUpperBound(0); x++) 
{
    if (objAddressList[x].AddressFamily == System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork) 
    {
        strIPAddress = objAddressList[x].ToString();
        break; 
    }
}

I found this via Google Search at get ip address in asp page - client side[^]

Response.Write("Local Machine Host name is "+Dns.GetHostName()+"<br>");
         string hostname = Dns.GetHostName();
         IPHostEntry ipEntry = Dns.GetHostByName(hostname);
         IPAddress[] addr = ipEntry.AddressList;
         for (int i = 0; i < addr.Length; i++)
           {
               Response.Write(string.Format("IP Address {0}: {1} ", i, addr[i].ToString()) + "<br>");
           }

And some good tips at A Gotcha Identifying the User's IP Address[^]
