Take a look at the LOGON_USER item in the Request.ServerVariables collection.

I wrote <%Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER"))%> and it returned a blank string my server allows for Anonymous Access to the sites on it.

ASP resides on the server, so you would have to do this on the client (javascript).

<script>
var wshshell=new ActiveXObject("wscript.shell");
var username=wshshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%username%");
alert("You are logged in as '" + username + "'");
</script>
