Hidden IP Address
One of the easiest ways to grab an IP address is to use request.servervariables("REMOTE_ADDR") and then store the value as a hidden field in your form. When the user submits the form, you can write the field containing the IP address directly into your database along with the other fields. Here's some sample code:
 
<FORM name="myform" action="process.asp"method="post">Name: <input
type="text" name="thename">
ID: <input type="text" name="theid">
<input type="hidden" name="theIP" value="<%=request.servervariables("REMOTE_ADDR")%>">
<input name="thesubmit" type="submit"></FORM>

If you have a hot tip and we publish it, we'll pay you. However, due to accounting overhead we no longer pay $10 for a single tip submission. You must accumulate 10 acceptable tips to receive payment. Be sure to include a clear explanation of what the technique does and why it's useful. If it includes code, limit it to 20 lines if possible. Submit your tip here.
