Get user's machine name?

[Will192]

How can I get the user's machine name and store it in a table on the server?

[Will192]

I can get the user's ip address with the following command:

ip = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR");


But I need the user's machine name, because the ip address changes every 21 days on our intranet.

I can't find it at the moment, but somewhere I saw a way of trapping the output of the NET CONFIG command.

NET CONFIG will only give you the PC info for the PC that it is ran on. I need to be able to run code on the server and find out what the machine name is from an ip address.

Since ASP is completely processed on the server, aquiring the users machine name is probably not possible.

ASP can only access the information which the client browser sends it on a page request, such as, the clients IP and Browser details.
