>>I need to start "tracking" who is doing what in my ASP.NET application (used in Anonymous mode). So I need to get the user IP that loads the application (on Intranet; not Internet). Google search gives many, many approaches. Can someone recommend an approach of getting the IP that worked for you?

As you correctly indicated, I am getting "::1" for IP when running on my local Web Site. Do I understand that when I deploy the app to the customer web site (and they will hit it not from local web site), I will see valid IPs?
