access to machine ID

tanneddevil · Apr 26, 2004

hey everyone....

i posted this before in the javascript forum, but to no avail. Anyways, each computer on an intranet has a unique machine id or ip address. How can i get that id?? Keep in mind the corporation i work for hasnt given me access to the server (its all about politics) so i need to do everything on the client side. I need it for a a web page that when the user submits from a form i can get what machine the form came from.

Thanks in advance

if its possible..but what i am doing right now is an online form (intranet) that any user can access and then they fill out the fields and click submit. Upon the regular fields that i have asked for and a few hidden fields, i was trying to get an id associated with that computer. Or if i can with that user profile as set up in windows 2000 pro. However i have no access to the server, so i have been using javascript all on the client side. Its tough when i cant have access to the server

what about

Code:

ip=request.servervariables("REMOTE_ADDR")

or in a windows network

auth = request.servervariables("LOGON_USER")
