I am using the serversocket.
When a request arrives, I do the following.

Socket clientSocket = listenSocket.accept();

Now how can I use the clientSocket to know the IP address of the client
that sent that request.

I have never used it, but clientSocket.getRemoteSocketAddress()
sounds relevant.

You have to do a little more if you want the remote endpoint in string
form...

String remoteIP =
((InetSocketAddress)clientSocket.getRemoteSocketAddress()).getAddress().toString()

...that should do it. Just need to bare in mind that if the socket is
not connected then this will throw a NullPointerException as
.getRemoteSocketAddress() will return null.
