Always 'localhost' from Request.ServerV ariables["SERVER_NAM E"]

I am wanting to get the machine name that is running IIS. I have code in
the 'Application_Be ginRequest' event of the Global.asax and even if I access
the web site from another machine I am always getting 'localhost' in the
SERVER_NAME variable. Any way to get the actual machine name?

See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...rvariables.asp
for the intended meaning of the SERVER_NAME server variable. For the local
machine name on the server, try using System.Environm ent.MachineName
instead.

I've created a link that will enable the reader of any page on my website to click it, enter an e-mail address, and have it arrive in that inbox with a hyperlink to the site.

I don't want to convert my entire site over to .asp, so having a pop-up .asp page seems to make...
