Looking of Netbios Name

[STibbs]

Does anyone have a web page that will show the netbios name of a computer when you spark a web page? Looking to add code to my existing web to show users the computer name that they are on when trouble shooting.

Well, to get their IP address you can use

Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")

.

Given an IP address you can use the NBTSTAT command from a command prompt like:

nbtstat -A <ip address>

But not sure how you could access this from the ASP page exactly without experimenting a bit...

Thanks. I was hoping to make it one step. I am not sure how to call the dos window to implement this command from the web. Some kind of bat file that would take the parm I guess.

there's a free component if you host your own server ...

it's the ASP Exec returns the results of a dos window via string value
