Getting user IP Address

[Greg Smith]

I have been using the following to get the client IP address:

Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"]

All of a sudden it has started returning

127.0.0.1 all the time. Does anybody have any idea why this would happen?



Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you running this site locally
http://localhost ??

I use request.userhostaddress to get the ip address of the user.

If you are accessing the site from your own machine..I think this is the
address you should be getting. But, if you access this site from a remote
workstation, then you should see that remote workstation address. Other
than that, I don't have a clue what is wrong..I will defer this to someone
else

REMOTE_ADDR is the IP address of the user visiting the site.

If you are on the same machine as the site, and visit it via
http://localhost/blahblah, then your IP is locahost == 127.0.0.1.

In order to see something different from REMOTE_ADDR, you need to access the
site from a different machine.
