The javascript approach seems sound, but it doesn't solve this essential problem:
Even if it did return the machine's ip address, they might not be useful to you, because the machines are on local network behind the proxy and their ip addresses are typically assigned privately. For example ip addresses 192.168.x.y are reserved for this. They could even be using "real" addresses, e.g. 207.178.x.y, but they wouldn't be the same machines as those on the outside net. This isn't always true, but you wouldn't have a(n easy) way to distinguish between a private and a real ip address. - David Gallardo --- Ronald J Reinhart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I just tried on a box behind a proxy and it shows > the proxy address so it's > still a problem. > > > > > Ronald J > > Reinhart/ASD/ To: > "JDJList" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > CSC cc: > > @CSC Subject: > [jdjlist] RE: Get Client's Ip > > address/machine name > > 08/15/2002 > > 10:58 AM > > Please > > respond to > > "JDJList" > > > > > > > > > > > I was intrigued with the proxy problem because I ran > into it a long time > ago.
