This tip of Mike Snow shows you how to obtain your client’s IP address when using Silverlight.

Unfortunately there is no way to accomplish this directly from Silverlight. It is also not supported via JScript so communicating between Silverlight and JScript will also not help here.

The first way I have found to accomplish this is to have your Silverlight application communicate directly with a WCF service where the web services returns to the Silverlight client the IP address of the client.

    Can you please explain in detail how you have achieved sending the silverlight client's IP address from WCF service to client? Its no use just telling ppl what you have done without explaining how. Otherwise its just useless information.
