determine local access

[Frank]

Hello,
is there a way to determine someone is locally accessing the webpages
(localhost\index.aspx) in an ASP.NET environment? As opposed to from a
remote place (ie. 555.123.3.45\index.aspx).

Thank you
Frank

You can examine Request.UserHostAddress which will be set to 127.0.0.1 if
the page is accessed from the localhost.

Hello Alberto,

The neat way is to use "HttpContext.Request.IsLocal", it incapsulate checks
for the 127.0.0.1

Thanks, I didn't know that one.
