Re: Getting IP address of client

Hello Thomas,

Firstly thanks very much for your answer - I was beginning to tear my har out until you and Russ gave me advice.

When you say using WebServer, what exactly do you mean. I use WebServer to map virtual directories and to basically make my machine an Internet web server, but I do not use cartridges and such to web enable my forms. I use what the manuals describe as the "static method of web deployment".

I tried this. The IP address that it returned was the address of the machine that hosts the database and the web server. I actually need the address of the client machine. Is this an Oracle setup issue perhaps.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My deadline is getting dangerously close :)

Thanks,
Mike.
