tracking website users!

Hey

asp.net 2.0

I'm using Request.UserHostAddress and Request.UserHostName to get info about
the site visitors. But the only info I get is IP addresses. Isn't there a
way I can get more info from the request to the portal??... Lke for example
if somebody from micorsoft visited my portal, I could get some kind of text
including phrase "microsoft".. IP addresses don't tell that much...

any suggestions?

An IP address is all you'll get. In order to get more information you'll
have to do reverse DNS lookups to see who owns the IP address.
Unfortunately, that's just the nature of the internet.

An IP address is all you'll get.
And it's almost not even worth getting that, as it's so easy to spoof...

Yes. Sign up for Google Analytics and get lots of valuable information free,
with just a little javascript.
