Hi,

I need to grab the ip address of the computer making the call to my Web
Service. In my .asmx I tried System.Web.HttpRequest.UserHostName and it
doesn't work. Does anyone know how I can grab the IP/Host address of the
client making the connection to my web service?

Thx
Maz.

In pre.MET days, ASP I used to use:
<% For Each name In Request.ServerVariables %>

<tr> <td><%= name %> </td> <td><%= Request.ServerVariables(name) %> </td>
</tr>

<% Next %>

Eg for NAME:
REMOTE_ADDR <requesting IP address>
REMOTE_HOST <requesting IP address>

I'm sure there'd be similar code in .NET.
ie Request.Server ..
