Request.UserHostAddress property returns the remote User IP address, I also used it & it working fine....
Check your code once again.....

You can't get the client IP from server code or javascript. What you can get from your server code is the IP if the machine that made the request to your page, and that might or might not be the actual client. If the client uses a proxy then you'll get the address of that, and if that proxy is your server itself then the requests will appear to have come from that IP.

Request.UserHostAddress is your best bet and if it doesn't give you what you want then there isn't much you can do about that, that's just how the internet works. Google "get client ip asp.net" and you'll see this discussed already countless times.

Hello,

There is no direct support for obtaining the ip address of the machine from JavaScript. But little bit server side code and AJAX you should be able to obtain the Ip address. So write a WebMethod which will retrieve the IP Address from the Request object and return it to caller. For AJAX you can use the very excellent JQuery library.

One use case where you might want to combine the JavaScript solution offered by KM Perumal and the web server logging suggestion of Day is to address the case where you are using layer 7 load balancing of HTTPS traffic as encrypted IP traffic (not using the load balancer to offload HTTPS decryption) to one or more backend web servers.

In this case, the web server's IP logging function will record the IP of the load balancer.

Unless your load balancer decrypts the HTTPS traffic, it cannot insert an origination (client) IP into the header (e.g. via X-Forwarded-For) to pass along to the backend web servers to record along with the remote address.

In this very specific, but not uncommon, hosting case:

1. Use JavaScript to determine the remote (client) IP

2. Insert that value in the HTTP header or as a form-submit value returned to the web server

3. Set the HTTP "Remote user" value through authentication/login (optional)

The IP address value will survive HTTPS stream load balancing to be recorded in the web server logs because the value is inserted into the HTTP response header (e.g. "%{VARNAME}^to") prior to the remote user's browser encrypting the HTTPS stream.

The web server's Remote IP-address value (e.g. Apache Module mod_log_config "%a") will still show the IP of the load balancer, but you can mine the header for the value set by your javascript.

Step three is useful when the remote user is behind a NAT network, as understand the code above, would provide the public address of the NAT router. Without a logged in user name, the IP address harvested in step 1 and returned in step 2 may represent more than one user/browser session.

In Apache mod_log-config the HTTP Header "Remote user" value can be recorded in the logs if the "%u" value is set.

Doing this, you can better get both the location and identity of the users.

JavaScript

<script type="text/javascript">
    window.onload = function () {
        var script = document.createElement("script");
        script.type = "text/javascript";
        script.src = "http://jsonip.appspot.com/?callback=DisplayIP";
        document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);
    };
    function DisplayIP(response) {
        document.getElementById("ipaddress").innerHTML = "Your IP Address is " + response.ip;
    }
</script>
</script>
