Client Machine Name and User Name

[DilipKS]

hi
am trying to get client machine name and the user name on that machine. Any idea ?
I am trying to use -
System.Net.Dns.GetHostName() or System.Environment.MachineName
but i guess they both gives server name ...not client name

For User I am using - System.Environment.UserName
but it gives ASPNET user , I want to know the user name who is running that ASP page at client side .

Check out the Request.ServerVariables collection. Amongst many other useful variables you can get username using...

Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"]

This is also available from the .NET Framework

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name

You cannot get machinename as easily. The server variables collection does include IP though

Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"]

Thias can be resolved to a machine name using the Dns class in the System.Net namespace. I havent done this but you should be able to do a reverse lookup from IP using

System.Net.Dns.GetHostByAddress(IPAddress);

HTH
