Subject: How to identify a person's IP address from your VFP app?

I'm wondering how to identify the user's IP address so we can apply tighter security. (MySQL allows you to restrict access by IP address.)

How do you get the person's true IP (and not just the internal network IP)? Do you do a TraceRt and someone glean it from that?

Thanks!
