Could you try using Request.UserHostAddress. This would return the ip-address for the current user.

I would use JavaScript to populate a hidden field on the login form with their IP address.

<script type="application/javascript">
    function getip(json){
      document.getElementById("hiddenIpField").value=json.ip;
    }
</script>

<script type="application/javascript" src="http://jsonip.appspot.com/?callback=getip"></script>

Note that a javascript solution is particularly easy to manipulate. A hidden field can simply be changed before the POST occurs. – Rowan Freeman May 15 '14 at 06:27
True @Rowan, but you can always have the code run in an onsubmit event handler. – Chad May 15 '14 at 06:35
