Custom Button or Link - Get IP address

Hi. I'm trying to get the current machin name (ip address) of the pc, with the Custom Button or Link, using "execute javascript".
I tried several things, but didn't succeed, Help?
thanks  :)

Hi Idan,

ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders() will let you see:
 
True-Client-IP has the value when the request is coming via the caching integration. 
X-Salesforce-SIP has the value if there is no caching integration (sandbox, developer edition orgs) or via the secure url 
  
Map<String, String> mapHeaders = ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders();
if(mapHeaders != null){
  ipAddress = mapHeaders.get('True-Client-IP');
  if(ipAddress == null){
    ipAddress = mapHeaders.get('X-Salesforce-SIP');
  }
}

Thanks, but eventually I did it in my controller (I'm calling a controller action in the javascript event), and in the controller I'm getting the IP address of the client  :)
