Web Service - How to get ip address of remote client?

[runningdog]

Hi

I have a web service written in vb .net and I would like to be able to
record the ip address of clients using the service. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

TIA Steve

Hi Steve,
You can use the context object in a web method to get the remote address.
Get the "remote_addr" property in the ServerVariables collection.

Imports System.Web.Services

<WebService(Description:="Echo Requestor's IP address")> _
Public Class EchoIP
Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService

<WebMethod(description:="Echo Requestor's IP address")
Public Function echo() As String
Return Context.Request.ServerVariables("remote_addr")
End Function
End Class
Best Regards,
Phil Harvey
