Get Correct IP address in perl/cgi?
Hi,

How to get correct IP address of a system?

I tried using this but i didn't get exact output.

Here is the code:

Code:
$host = $ENV{'REMOTE_HOST'};
print "<br> host ip address ---> $host <br>";

$addr = $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'};
print "<br> host address ----- > $addr <br>";

But i am not getting the exact IP address.

My ip address is 192.169.3.444 but it is displaying 192.169.1.222 (default gateway).

How can i get exact IP address in perl/cgi?

Regards
Vanitha

Unless you get the browser to somehow send it's private IP along, that's the best you'll get. The web server can only show the information about the last IP in the communication chain. Since a gateway rewrites the headers in the IP packets, it seems as if it initiates the connection.
