obtain REAL IP vs Internal IP Addres

Hi There, my app needs to know the end users ACTUAL IP address, as opposed to there internal network IP address . Its being used to send messages back and forth similar to "instant messages" , how does one go about finding the ACTUAL IP address of a user, and also how would this work if there is a network in place and 2 users on the same network are accessing the program, will it still send info to the right place? Thanks! Any help would be greatly appreciated

I found this sample in FreeVBCode. It is not exactly what you are looking for but it might have the code you are looking for in it.
