November 5, 200619 yr I'm setting up a solution where a user fills in basic information and the system returns a thank you page. However, I want to record the user's IP Address. Using FM's Get(SystemIPAddress) return's the server's IP address, not the clients. How do I get the client's (public) IP address into a field in IWP?
November 5, 200619 yr This is not possible I suspect. And it is not only a filemaker missing feature but a general security consideration that browsers don't disclose information about their local configuration. -jens
November 5, 200619 yr Author There is no such security feature in browsers. Example: http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm
November 6, 200619 yr Try Get(SystemNICAddress). Whilst it's not an IP Address, it is actually a better record as the NIC info cannot change for a given network card.
November 9, 200619 yr Of course. The web client information was available in FMP 6, but appears to have disappeared since then.
