Problem of getting erroneous IP address

[R O C K Y]

I am facing the Problem of getting erroneous IP address 127.0.0.1 instead of my own IP address by using the following code:-

public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain) throws IOException,
{


String ip = request.getRemoteAddr();

/.....
}

if it comes with the IP add of localhost, then in that case need to know y it happens.........

For servers with more than one IP address, this attribute
specifies which address will be used for listening on the specified
port. By default, this port will be used on all IP addresses
associated with the server. A value of <code>127.0.0.1</code>
indicates that the Connector will only listen on the loopback
interface.
