Try this
SSI Solution:
Make sure that SSI is enabled on your server.
Name your file something.shtml
<p>IP: <!--#echo var="SERVER_ADDR" --></p>
PHP Solution:
Name your file something.php
<?php
$ip = gethostbyname ($SERVER_NAME);
?>
...
<p>IP: <?php print "$ip"; ?></p>
If that still doesn't work, what server/platform are you running? Is it
configured to do the above, or at least, can you configure it?
