Try

string sIp = Request.UserHostAddress;

or
Dim sIp As String = Request.UserHostAddress

To convert IP address into location, go to www.dnnsstuff.com
However IP address lookup is not always reliable e.g.

  • IP Addresses got from a pool
  • IP addresses for Manager user although in reality fixed, may be attributed to country of service provider not the actual country.

using System.Net;
 
 
IPHostEntry he = Dns.GetHostByName(Dns.GetHostName());
Text = he.AddressList[0].ToString(); // returns IP address

void getClientInfo()
{
  string RemoteIp = Request.UserHostAddress.ToString();
  string DNSName = Request.UserHostName;
  string user = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
 
  Response.Write("</br>Remote Ip:" + RemoteIp);
  Response.Write("</br>DNS Name :" + RemoteIp);
  Response.Write("</br>" + Environment.MachineName.ToString());
  Response.Write("</br>  User:" + user.ToString());
 
  Response.Write("</br>" + Environment.UserName.ToString());
  Response.Write("</br>" + System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.ToString());
}
