How to retrieve the client's machine info

[sabavno]

Hi, I need help with retrieving the user information from the client's machine. When I run the following code, it returns the server's information rather than the machine's from which the asp page was open.

Set n = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
UserName=n.UserName


Please advise.

Thanks.
