        Response.Write(Request.Params("REMOTE_ADDR"))
        Response.Write(HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")) 
        Response.Write(HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress)        Response.Write(Page.Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR"))        
Response.Write(Page.Request.ServerVariables("LOCAL_ADDR"))

The urgency of your request is a matter of supreme indifference to the members of CodeProject. If you truly need it urgently then try doing some research for yourself.

What about sending the IP from the app that is trying to connect as a requirement before establishing the connection?

Solution 3

Try this

C#

public String getIpAddress()
    {
        string strIpAddress;
        strIpAddress = Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
        if (strIpAddress == null)
        {
            strIpAddress = Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
        }
        return Convert.ToString(strIpAddress);
    }

Also have look: Find Computer Name,Operating System name and MAC address of a given IP address using c#[^]

Solution 2

I have used below two in my application. I will recommend you to use 1st one. 2nd one also right.

HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
