is it possible for a webservice to find out the ip-address from ..

[Koen Hoorelbeke]

Hi there,
I've got the following:
a user (using machine 1) requests a normal aspx-page on my server
(machine2). that page (on machine2) calls a webservice (on machine3), without
giving any further parameters.

Can the webservice find out the ip-number of the user that initially
requested the aspx-page from my server? In other words, can the webservice on
machine3 get the ip-number from machine1, without machine2 giving it to him
(machine3) ???

If so, how does one do that ?

Many thanks in advance !

No, you can not obtain the ip address of a machine your'e not communicating
with. So machine2 has to provide the ip address of machine1 in a parameter
to the method called on machine3.
