Answer 1

You can get the user's IP address in a static class like this:

        string ip = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(ip))
        {
            ip = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
        }
        return ip;

This technique is better to use that Request.UserHostAddress() as that will sometimes only capture the IP address of a user's proxy.
