If your WCF's are hosted in a web server environment you can do the following:

In your config file:

C#

<system.servicemodel>
        !-- this enables WCF services to access ASP.Net http context -->
        <servicehostingenvironment aspnetcompatibilityenabled="true" />
</system.servicemodel>

You should then be able to access the client IP using:

C#

HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress

Should I configure and write this code in second WCF service

Would have thought it self explanatory. :)

The setup is required on the receiver side, so I recon "second WCF service" would be similar :)
