An easy way to get the server's IP address from the client machine is to use the IT_MyTCPAddr command from the 4D Internet Commands plugin. To implement this:

1. Install the 4D Internet Commands.bundle in the database Plugins folder.


2. Create a method with the Execute on server property checked on. The method below named Util_IpAddress will work for this:
   
   

   `--- Method Util_IpAddress `This method has Execute on server property checked on ` C_TEXT($ipAddress;$subnet) C_TEXT($0) IT_MyTCPAddr ($ipAddress;$subnet) $0:=$ipAddress `---End Util_IpAddress



3. Create another method that calls Util_IpAddress from the client. The method below named getServer_IpAddress does this:
   
   

   `---Method getServer_IpAddress ` C_TEXT($serverIP) $serverIP:= Util_IpAddress `---End getServer_IpAddress



4. Execute getServer_IpAddress to retrieve the IP.
