hello experts,
i m developing ASP.NET application. in that for the security purpose i want to use MAC address of the PC. for that i have wrote some code as:

NetworkInterface[] nics = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();

        for (int j = 0; j <= 1; j++)

        {

            PhysicalAddress address = nics[j].GetPhysicalAddress();

            byte[] bytes = address.GetAddressBytes();

            for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++)

            {

                M = M + bytes.ToString("X2");

                if (i != bytes.Length - 1)

                {

                    M = M + ("-");

                }

            }

        }

The Problem here is that you are getting the IP locally on this line

 PhysicalAddress address = nics[j].GetPhysicalAddress();

use this to get the IP of a client

Request.UserHostAddress

Try this in case you have a load balancer:


public static string GetClientIPAddress(System.Web.HttpRequest httpRequest)

{

    string OriginalIP = string.Empty; 

    string RemoteIP = string.Empty;



    OriginalIP = httpRequest.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]; //original IP will be updated by Proxy/Load Balancer.



    RemoteIP = httpRequest.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"]; //Proxy/Load Balancer IP or original IP if no proxy was used



    if (OriginalIP != null && OriginalIP.Trim().Length > 0)

    {

        return OriginalIP + "(" + RemoteIP + ")"; //Lets return both the IPs.

    }

    

    return RemoteIP;

}

Hope that helps!

{

return OriginalIP + "(" + RemoteIP + ")"; //Lets return both the IPs.

}

return RemoteIP;

}

How to call above function...

For Example:

In page_load()
{
string ClientIP = UtilityLibrary.Utilities.Network.GetClientIPAddress(HttpContext.Current.Request);
}

Where UtilityLibrary = Class Library
Utilities = Namespace
Network = Class Name
