Not clear what you are getting and how. What is "local"? Client is client, whatever IP of the party which sent HTTP request. What did you try so far?

Local means "Localhost" Client means the user who's is trying to access my web application

"localhost" is not a "real" IP address. This is a kind of placeholder which you can use in URL. When you actually do an HTTP request, there is always a real address. Anyway, please see my answer.

Please see my comment to the question. You can use Request.UserHostAddress:

or Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR"):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httprequest.servervariables.aspx[^].

This is the list for IIS:

If you try to get ip while running application from localhost you will get something like 127.0.0.1 as said by the experts above.Have a look at the below code.

C#

string ip=Server.HtmlEncode(Request.UserHostAddress);

This line of code,when executed on localhost,will give you something like 127.0.0.1.But suppose you host it on production server,at that time it will give you the actual client ip(in string format),that is the one trying to interact with your web etc.
