SIMPLE QUESTION: Indy Components v 9.0 : Returning Clients IP address

Heya,
Ive just started using Indy components having been used to other packages, and there seems no easy way to return the client's IP address using the component TIdTCPServer. When they connect, or send a message (onEXECUTE), you can retreive the person's Hostname easily (athread.connection.localname), but why can't you get at their IP address??? Please help me!! It would be very much appreciated. I don't want have to create a new class and store all the clients details to have to retrieve them everytime somebody sends a message. I can see this being done within the example, but seems too overcomplicated for such a regular and simple task. Please write soon, Henry.

AThread.Connection.Socket.PeerIP IIRC.

Or possibly:

AThread.Connection.Socket.Binding.PeerIP?
