what language?

[Beacon]

Javascript, vbscript or html hell i dont really care!

[sail3005]

how about ASP?

It's really easy that way...(i suppose something simular would work for vbs)

<% = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST") %>

Yeah, all server-side CGI languages can get the ip address pretty easy with the REMOTE_HOST or REMOTE_ADDR cgi variables. REMOTE_ADDR will be the ip address, on some servers, REMOTE_HOST will name resolve the ip address.

Perl = $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}

PHP = $remote_ip=getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

just in case you don't want ASP or VBS

i wonder if there is any way to do it in javascript?

There's this, I didn't test it.

	browserName = navigator.appName
	browserVer = parseInt(navigator.appVersion)
	ipAdd = ""

	if (browserName == "Netscape" && navigator.javaEnabled()) {
		if (browserVer >= 4) {
			ipAdd = java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()
		}
		else {
			ipAdd = java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHostName()
		}
	}
	if (ipAdd != "") {
		document.writeln("<H1>Your IP address is: " + ipAdd + ".</H1>")
		if (ipAdd.substring(0,7) == "17.254.") {
			document.write("<H2>Welcome, visitor from Apple!</H2>")
		}
	}

Let me know if that code works. Getting an ip address through client-side javascript is a security hole that would need to be closed.
