I have created a web service that does some logging to a web database and
would like to include the client's IP address in the log information. How
can I get this information when a web service is called?

Thanks,

Hi Johnnie,

Use Request.UserHostAddress to retrieve the IP of the calling client.

Martin,

Thank you for responding. One more thing please...

How should I create the System.Web.HttpRequest for Request.UserHostAddress
to be valid when my web service is called? My partial code is below.

Thanks,

Johnnie

using System.Web;
HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest( ); // parameters for my web service
to use???

ipAddress = request.UserHostAddress;

I think i have it now; I just do this from within the web method.
ipAddress = this.Context.Request.UserHostAddress;

Testing it now.
