IP Address detection

[G]

Hello,

For whatever reason, I want to get an email when my friends STATIC IP
ADDRESS clocks a visit on my site.

Will this work?: (Pretend his IP address is 80.112.144.244)

<%Session("IP")=Request.Servervariables("REMOTE_HO ST")%>
<% if Session("IP")="80.112.144.244" then "Sendmail" else "Do nothing" end
if%>

Or
<% if Request.Servervariables("REMOTE_HOST")="80.112.144 .244" then
"Sendmail" else "Do nothing" end if%>

I would use REMOTE_ADDR rather than REMOTE_HOST. The purpose of REMOTE_HOST
is to store the host *name* not IP address, it just so happens that most
configurations don't support host name so IP is relayed instead.

You asked, "will this work?" Well, did you try it?

Well, have you tried it? Should work fine, but make sure when you call your
E-mailing sub, you don't enclose the subroutine name is quotes as you have
below. Something like this should work:

global.asa:

<script language="vbscript" runat="server">

Sub Session_OnSTart()
If REquest.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST") = "80.112.144.244" Then Call
SendMeAnEmail()
End Sub

Sub SendMeAnEmail()
Dim oCDO
Set oCDO = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
oCDO.From = "yo*@yourdomain.kom"
oCDO.To = "yo*@yourdomain.koom"
oCDO.Subject = "My friend visited the site."
oCDO.TextBody = "Friend at site at " & Now()
oCDO.Send
Set oCDO = Nothing
End Sub
</script>
