Get the client IP not the proxy's

[Stephane]

Hi,

Is there a way to get the client IP from a web service? I keep receiving the
server's IP address.

From my web method, I tried all of this:

Context.Request.UserHostAddress;
Context.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
Context.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];

Even by checking the headers, there's no client IP:

NameValueCollection NVCSrvElements = Context.Request.ServerVariables;
foreach(string item in NVCSrvElements.Keys)
{
Response.Write(item + " " + NVCSrvElements[item]);
}

Any idea?

Thanks,

Stephane

Yes. Sorry, it can't be done.
