getting IP address of browser client in DHCP environment

using the request object you can get this.

DHCP is not an issue. If you are attempting to

talk to a server from a client browser which is behind a proxy server/wall, this is when you get into the situation you mention. Not because of DHCP.

One other reason I can think of, in your JSP/Servlet maybe you are printing out the IP of the server and not that of the client. Even in this case you will see the same IP adress.

To get more info I would suggest that you use

nslookup command on the IP address you got and see what it maps to.

i have already posted to this forum, but have not received any convincing solutions.

I read your post. I think you sadi you were behind a firewall (also called proxy

wall or proxy server). And the response I thought was correct in your case. If you are behind a proxy server, there is a 99.9% chance that you will always get the same IP address.

ps: proxy server problems are not the same as DHCP.
