getting IP address in ASP page?

Is it possible to trace the IP address of the browser which launch the ASP
page in the server?
I'm trying to do the tracing for security purpose.

Thanks in advance...

ASP ServerVariables Collection
http://www.w3schools.com/asp/coll_servervariables.asp

Try Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")

Sure, we 'all' do.

However the security stinks.

Some users share a proxy ip with thousands of others,
others change their IP in mid air, I mean in mid session.

I do not know if you can impersonate an IP.

Checking for your own IP, if you have a fixed IP connection and do not
use a proxy seems reasonably safe, though I would not wage amounds of
money on that.
