Sorry, that might not have been totally clear. The actual ICA or RDP client
that connects to the server reports it's IP address (ie. That of the local
machine) when the connection is established, this is what you can see in the
CMC or TSadmin !

Yup, the ICA (& RDP) protocol API's all report the actual IP address of the
connecting client and not the IP address that is being routed through in
this case ! It suck's but that's how the protocol works unfortunately. You
can't even tracert them because it's not a valid IP address, unless anyone
know's a way to ID the IP of the connecting router involved and if so I'd
love to know how (obviously you can trawl though Winsock call's and inet
stuff but is there a higher level way to achieve this) ?

Just wanted to know if anyone has any thoughts on this. I check our security
logs every day and noticed something that to me at least, is odd. A user
logs in from home and said user has a broadband connection and a wireless
router (Linksys, netgear, that variety). If I check the security log and
look at when the user disconnected from their session it has the EXTERNAL
address provided by the ISP. However, if I go into Citrix Metaframe Admin
and look at their disconnected session which is still hanging out there, hit
the Information tab, it gives me the internal address (192.x.x.x in this
case) of the PC behind the router. So, eventvwr gives the ISP assigned IP
while MFAdmin gives the interal IP. Anyone know why the difference?
