Trying to use Request.ServerV ariables("remot e_addr")

[Henry Stock]

I don't seem to understand how to use the value:
Request.ServerV ariables("remot e_addr")

I am trying to pass the ip address of a sending web client in the body of an
email message.

When I compile the following code I get the this error message:

Error 1 'System.Web.Htt pRequest.Server Variables' is a 'property' but is used
like a 'method' D:\Projects\sam ple\comments.as px.cs 38 78
D:\Projects\sam ple\

For all I know, there may be more errors than just haven't shown their head
yet.
Can somebody tell me how to pass the value to my message?

re:

The "sending web client" is your web server in that case.

re:

You'd have to capture the IP when the web client arrives at a preliminary page
which then redirects to your web mail form, passing the IP value to your email form.

In C# you need [] rather than ():
Request.ServerV ariables["remote_add r"]
