Retrieving the client system's IP address

Hi,

In my application, (am using JSP), i am using the 'request.getRemoteAddr()' method to retrieve the IP of the client who hits my web page.

My prob is that this method does not give me the IP of the actual client, instead it returns the IP of the gateway (in case it is there), or if the client is connected to a dialup internet connection, the method returns the IP of the connection provider.

To make things more clear, i have a web page which a client visits. the client is connected to the internet using dialup connection. i want the IP of the client's system, and not the IP of the internet provider's server, which is what request.getRemoteAddr() is returning.

How to get the IP of the actual client system?

Any ideas anyone...
