It is a standard HTML page.

I am afraid you won't be able to track IP address in HTML page.

As a workaround,you should create a hidden field which would stroe the IP addree using JS function in your HTML page and post it along with your web - to lead request.

So,you should be looking something like below :-

<script language="javascript">

var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->'

function ipval() {
document.myform.ipaddr.value=ip;
}
window.onload=ipval
</script>

<form method="post" action="" name="myform">
  <input type="hidden" name="ipaddr" readonly>
</form>

If this helps,please mark it as best answer to help others :)
