Trying to use Request.ServerVariables("remote_addr")

I don't seem to understand how to use the value:
Request.ServerVariables("remote_addr")

I am trying to pass the ip address of a sending web client in the body of an
email message.

When I compile the following code I get the this error message:

Error 1 'System.Web.HttpRequest.ServerVariables' is a 'property' but is used
like a 'method' D:\Projects\sample\comments.aspx.cs 38 78
D:\Projects\sample\

For all I know, there may be more errors than just haven't shown their head
yet.
Can somebody tell me how to pass the value to my message?

// Phone field may have () - spaces and digits

// email address must be properly formatted.

// Eventually I would like to add a check for domain validity

// After edits I need to create the message

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();

MailAddress _from = new MailAddress(FindControl("email").ToString());

MailAddress _sender = new MailAddress("(e-mail address removed)");

msg.From = _from;

msg.Sender = _sender;

msg.Subject = "Feedback from Comments Form";

StringBuilder sbuilder = new StringBuilder();

//Build string for message body

sbuilder.AppendLine("Sender's IP Address: " +
Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("remote_addr")));

sbuilder.AppendLine("Name: " + FindControl("name").ToString());

sbuilder.AppendLine("Phone: " + FindControl("phone").ToString());

sbuilder.AppendLine("Email: " + FindControl("email").ToString());

sbuilder.AppendLine("Message: " + FindControl("message").ToString());

//assign string value to message body

msg.Body = sbuilder.ToString();

//create the smtp client

SmtpClient _smtp = new SmtpClient();

_smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;

_smtp.Host = "mrelay.perfora.net";

_smtp.Port = 25;

_smtp.Send(msg);

The "sending web client" is your web server in that case.

re:

You'd have to capture the IP when the web client arrives at a preliminary page
which then redirects to your web mail form, passing the IP value to your email form.
