capturing machine name

[NTSGuru]

I am in dire need of some help. Is there any way that I can capture the computer name from an ASP? I cannot seem to do it, but it's vital to my current project.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

TIA

Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME&quot should do the trick even though on my machine it returns the IP. Mastering ASP references that method to get the computer name of the server.

You might also try Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST&quot

It wasn't the way I wanted to do it, but I'm using the IP addresses instead of the machine name. my problem with that is I won't be able to look back and verify the machines that are running DHCP... oh well.

BTW.. I used the request.servervariables("REMOTE_ADDR&quot to get the client IP....

Thanks.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the server. Sorry, I don't know of a way to extract the computer name of the client. It's not listed in my ServerVariables reference.

is there a where to get the machinename of the client at all, from the client side? you can have the client send it out in a form as a hidden input.
