Getting IP address from Web Service

[Trusts]

Hi,

I have a web service. I need to log the IP addresses from the calls being made to the service. I have this line of code in the web method:


Dim StrIncomingIP As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress.ToString

But nothing comes through. Anyone know what to alter in this code, or have some other method?

Thanks,
KB

Does Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") return anything?

But what type would I declare that as? Not string?

Yes, you would just use it as you've done above:

HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR").ToString
