Reverse DNS lookup in ASP

[orlandoj]

Hi,

I am designing a site on a remote server through hostmysite.com. The server supports ASP, and I recently made my own hit counter. I am trying to figure out how to get the DNS info of the hits to my site by using the IP address. I've done MANY searches online as to how to do this, and it seems that in every instance I'd have to install software on the server. I don't believe I can install software on this server being that it is a remote server. Is there any code I can use to script this reverse lookup function in ASP?

Thanks,
-Jamie

You want just the client's IP?

http://www.w3schools.com/asp/coll_servervariables.asp

dim ip
ip = request.servervariables("REMOTE_ADDR")

I'm not entirely sure this will work 100% of the time, but its the right general direction. If its wrong, just go through the list at w3schools and find the right variable.

Thanks,

I know how to get the IP already. My question was regarding getting the DNS name of the IP address. There are ways of doing it, but I haven't found a way to do it without installing software on the server.

Last try by me. Sorry if this doesn't help either.

dim ip
ip = request.servervariables("REMOTE_HOST")
