Once you have "accepted" a client connection in your "server", I think
you can get the client host info by calling the
tcp::socket::remote_endpoint() method.

You should probably check out some basic socket and TCP/IP resources
to get a better idea of how sockets work w/ TCP/IP.  Not sure what
specific resource to recommend at this point.  But you can't go wrong
w/ the Stevens books.
