My solution needs to discover the WAN IP address of connected clients, so it can act based on whether the user is in our LA or Chicago office.

Get(HostIPAddress) or Get(SystemIPAddress) don't help, because obviously they return the address of the server and the private (LAN) address of the client, respectively.

Is there any way to accomplish what I'm trying to do just by using FileMaker functions, or will I have to use AppleScript to retrieve the client WAN IPs?

Many thanks, all--
