How to identify the client computer?

Manu

To login into my web site the user has to supply a username and a
password.
As the application is a commercial one I would like to enable the
customer to connect to the site only from the machine located at his
office and not from home.
How can I identify the actual machine he is logging in from? I would
like not to use cookies as this mechanism is unreliable.

Hi Manu,

Then you can only check the client IP , you can access it using
Request.UserHostName or Request.UserHostAddress

Hope this help,

Hi, Manu!

Install sertificate on client machine and use SSL for mashine/client
identity.
