Client IP could be found from

ip=Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR");
if(ip==string.Empty)
{
 ip=Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR");
}

Hi, thanks!

I tried this code on my own PC, it shows the IP: 127.0.0.1

this is obviouly not right. This is not the right IP of my computer.

I saw from internet, there are also others have the same problem. then some people suggest using the following code:

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

but it shows the result as follows:

fe70::8c3:258f:3f47:fd6b%12

this is IP??

do you have more comments on this?

thank you again!!

This is the most funniest code Big Grin | :-D

. It means it will try to resolve the dns of the host. Even I saw this. I dont know how people give suggestions to these to resolve IP. .. Laugh | :laugh:

If you are using localhost, the ip will always be 127.0.0.1 as the server and client both the same. Try putting in IIS and get the IP from your local machine. I think you will get the IP address properly.
You can also try
Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_HOST"]
or
Request.UserHostAddress

It will give the same output as well. Big Grin | :-D

If the user is behind a proxy then REMOTE_ADDR will be the proxy IP address and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR will be the client IP address. HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR can consist of multiple comma separated IP addresses for each proxy the request passes through. Generally, client IP is the first of them.

Finally, you can rely on the above methods only for Transparent proxies. There is no way to trace the actual IP in case of Anonymous or Distorting proxies.

One more good tool for finding country from an IP is this one[^] on codeplex.

authentication issue of IIS 6.0

Hello everyone,

I am using Windows Server 2003 + VSTS 2008 + .Net 3.5 + C# + ASP.Net + IIS 6.0. I host some files (wmv video file and html file) on the web server, I want to know whether there are any easy to use authentication approach to let user input username and password before they can access (I want to prevent anonymous access)? Since the web site has also aspx ASP.Net page, and I want to use an unified authentication solution for wmv, html and aspx page. If prefer any solution which utilizes username and password stored in SQL Server database which my application already has/use.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance,
George

Hey George,
I am seeing ur question after a long time. How are u doing ?

So what is the problem with that ? why you are not authenticate the user from SQL Server itself . maintin session for giving the proper access of the page. or you can implement Roles for that !

Because you've not set the control to be multiline. It's a property on the control.

Anyone got a link to a good tutorial which shows how to create a read-only text-box in a Web Application which automatically collects a visitor's IP Address?

Thanks

It's in the Request object ( the IP address ). Use a label, that's read only.

Have you tried

Response.Cache.SetNoStore();

when one visits your page ?
Big Grin | :-D

Also add these

Response.ExpiresAbsolute=DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1d);
Response.Expires =-1500;
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache";

Hope this will help.
