Cannot get user IP address (proxy/firewall/load balancer)

I used code below to get client ip with asp.net before but after I moved to VDS this function begin returning only my subnet mask which is 178.18.198.1 or 178.18.198.2. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Private Function GetIPAddress() As String
    Dim sIPAddress As String = Nothing
    sIPAddress = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")

    If String.IsNullOrEmpty(sIPAddress) Then
        sIPAddress = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
    End If

    Return sIPAddress
End Function

EDIT

Found similar problem here:

Have deployed many 2008 32 bit standard web servers using the citrix netscaler isapi (the netscaler being a load balancer), in all cases the client IP address is logged in the standard IIS logs. On a new project I was asked to deploy 2008 R2, configured IIS 7.5 identically with how开发者_JAVA技巧 I configured IIS 7.0 in the past, this time however the client ip is returning the load balancer address in the logs. Here is the weird part, I installed "advanced logging" and it is showing the client IP address properly, so the isapi is doing its job. Have googled this one to death and could use some advice.

I also found ISAPI Filter module but cannot make it work: devcentral.f5.com/x_forwarded_for_log_filter_for_windows_servers

Problem solved by using HTTP_CLIENT_IP instead of REMOTE_ADDR in sourcecode files.

The problem about IIS Logs was solved by installing IIS Advanced Logging module as suggested here. Also I got error "503: Service Unavailable" after installing Advanced Logging but solved this by granting read-write permissions to Everyone for Program Files\IIS folder and started failed application pools.

Another solution suggested here is:

On the NetScaler under "load balancing", "Services" then under the advanced tab, under settings, check the box for "Use Source IP" and "Client IP" then in the Header field "CLIENT-IP"

I use

IP.Text = Request.UserHostAddress;

In C#. Does that work for you?
