Get PC name

[Mariame]

hi all,
how could i get the PC name of the client pc using ASP.net ??

[Juan T. Llibre]

For the server's machinename, try :

System.Environment.MachineName.ToString()

You can't get the client PC's name. ASP.NET doesn't run on the client.

You can't, at least, not natively.

You could (I suppose) write a Java applet which could do this, but the
security implications would be horrible.

Why on earth do you need to know this anyway...?

if the pc's are on your network, then you can do a reverse dns lookup on the
request ipaddress.
