I'm running an ASP application on IIS 5.0 which needs to have "Anonymous Access" turned on.

I have a page that determines the network user using ASP's server variables ( IIS' "anonymous" settings makes those variables like REMOTE_USER and LOGON_USER null.

However, I did notice that the IP addy and Computer Name are still available.

So, does anyone know of a way to make the server contact the client and grab that network login (DOMAIN\username) based in IP?

Or is there a way to force IIS or ASP to grab those server variables?

I know that it's alot of questions. An answer to any (or all) would be appreciated.

Help would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
