Retrieving the remote IP when using Flex Remoting over RTMP

Question

Hello,
I am trying to retrieve the IP address of a user making a Java call to my service defined in remoting-config.xml
If i setup an AMF channel I can use the folllowing to retrieve the remote IP address:
String ip = FlexContext.getHttpRequest().getRemoteAddr();
But when i try to do the same over a RTMP channel I get a Java exception because the object that RTMP uses to fake a httprequest doesn't implement that function.
How do i retrieve the IP of the user making the call in this case? It has to be somewhere or the server wouldn't be able to send a reply to the client, but i haven't been able to find it.

I tried all of your ideas and still no luck (see below). One thing I forgot to mention was that when using Internet Exploier to view the web page on another computer I can see the document title (AKA- VI name) and the header I typed in. But where the vi should be I have the missing picture Icon (the one you see when a web page has a bad link to an image). Image will show up on sever computer when I click preview web page. Is there anything that the receiving computer needs to have other than the run time code?
TST – I have found that the start web sever button will gray out if  you goto tools options web server configuration then manual check the enable web server check box. So that wasn’t it.
Soroush- I set up computer to be a server using control panel (I didn’t know you could do that) thank for the ini file I will update mine
Thoskins- I change port number and the still didn’t work
