This is not possible with JavaScript.

[rnd me]

you can get a lot of info from window.navigator, window.screen, and navigator.mimeTypes. this is more generic info like resolution, cpu type, os version, etc..

the outside ip is visible only to a server.

the local ip can be reached from javascript using a simple java bridge:

function myIP(){ var vi="/gets the users local ip number"
    var yip2=java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost();    
    var yip=yip2.getHostAddress();
  return yip;
}//end myIP
 

i am not sure what "machine id" means...

The machine ID will probably be a Windows thing. Some of this info. may be available via ActiveX, but obviously that's IE-only in a non-secure environment.
