Get users IP address

I need to modify the Send Thoughts module so that I will get the users public IP address.

Can someone please provide some light on how I might accomplish this?

Re: Get users IP address

You may be able accomplish what you want using the Request.Servervariables("REMOTE_ADDR") header.

These may help:

Re: Get users IP address

HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
or
HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];

To get the IP address of the machine and not the proxy use the following code

HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];

Re: Get users IP address

etariq
HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];

I tried that and it didn't work. No IP address is showing.

Re: Get users IP address

Take a look at the log module as it shows IP information. You can just copy that functionality.

Re: Get users IP address

Not sure what you mean by log module. Where do I look for and what do I need to copy?

Re: Get users IP address

Rainbow has a log module. You can find this on the portal by going on the Admin menu and clicking on logs and then Monitoring and Logs. This will show you IP info and you can get the functionality from DesktopModules\Monitoring.

Re: Get users IP address

I'm still not clear what you mean. I don't have admin rights to the web server. I only have rights to my own little web space. So I'm not sure what you mean by admin menu or DesktopModules\Monitorings.

Re: Get users IP address

When you login to rainbow, you see the admin menu correct? Off of the admin menu is a logs tab, off the logs tab is monitoring. I dont mean admin to the server; I mean admin to your portal.

Re: Get users IP address

Even I have simillar kind of problem.
We have intranet application and I need to cature the IPAddress of the client.

I am trying to capture the remote address.
I tried in different ways as below.. but the result of all is 127.0.0.1

HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST")
Request.UserHostAddress()
Request.UserHostName()

I guess firewall/NAT Box hiding internal IP addresses.
is there any way to get actual IP.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Get users IP address

Hi vitta, I got the same problem and I found the solution by doing dis:

string strHostName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName();
string clientIPAddress = System.Net.Dns.GetHostAddresses(strHostName).GetValue(0).ToString();

I got this solution from C# corner. website

Re: Get users IP address

This example demonstrates how to find out the visitor's browser type, IP address, and more:

<html>
<body>
<p>
<b>You are browsing this site with:</b>
<%Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("http_user_agent"))%>
</p>
<p>
<b>Your IP address is:</b>
<%Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("remote_addr"))%>
</p>
<p>
<b>The DNS lookup of the IP address is:</b>
<%Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("remote_host"))%>
</p>
<p>
<b>The method used to call the page:</b>
<%Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("request_method"))%>
</p>
<p>
<b>The server's domain name:</b>
<%Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("server_name"))%>
</p>
<p>
<b>The server's port:</b>
<%Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("server_port"))%>
</p>
<p>
<b>The server's software:</b>
<%Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("server_software"))%>
</p>
</body>
</html>

Re: Get users IP address

Thanks Zestq..its working fine.. This is what I exactly want..
I really wonder why others given examples with server variables.
I already said, I tried with server variables and couldnt succeed in INTRNET environment where proxy is hiding the original IP.

API's under DNS class are solution for my problem.

Thanks again Zestq

Re: Get users IP address

etariq

HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
or
HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
To get the IP address of the machine and not the proxy use the following code
HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];

Thanks this works for me.

HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;

So I can log every user login and their IP.

I use it like this in c#. Using This Sql Connection class as MySql.

MySqlConnection MySql = new MySqlConnection();

string ip = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;

MySql.CreateConn();

MySql.Command = MySql.Connection.CreateCommand();
MySql.Command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
MySql.Command.CommandText = "INSERT INTO dbo.[log.login] (userID, IP, DateTimeStamp, TargetPage) VALUES (" + myUserID + ", '" + ip + "', '" + DateTime.Now + "', '" + Server.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString["p"]) + "')";
MySql.Command.ExecuteNonQuery();
MySql.Command.Dispose();

MySql.CloseConn();

Thanks ZESTQ, It really works for me......

Re: Get users IP address

dear zestq,

string strHostName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName();
string clientIPAddress = System.Net.Dns.GetHostAddresses(strHostName).GetValue(0).ToString();

I got this solution from C# corner. website

for the solution that you provided on February, Do u know how to solve it by using vb.NET?

Hope to hear anyone of you, thank you

Re: Get users IP address

Hi guyz, The solution I have provided gives the IP Address but If you look into it, It gives you the server IP not the client;s IP Address, while I guess we all need the client's IP Address or the visitor's IP.

To get the Client's IP Address, try this:

string clientIPAddress = this.Page.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];

NOTE: when you run this it will give you "127.0.0.1", this is because, you are using from the HOST Machine i.e. the application is on ur machine and it is giving you, ur IP address but when any visitor or client hits ur page it will give you the exact IP Address of the Client.

I have checked this on my LAN and its working fine,,,,,try this and if it fails do inform me or any 1 got any better solution please let me know.

Re: Get users IP address

Hi Hideyoshi here is the VB version of both of my codes:

Dim strHostName As String = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName()
Dim clientIPAddress As String = System.Net.Dns.GetHostAddresses(strHostName).GetValue(0).ToString()
Dim clientIPAddress As String = Me.Page.Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR"

Following site address is the converter of VB.NET code to C# and vice versa (I have also used this site 2 convert my code).
