I think, you can get like this --> Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"] --> Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_HOST"] --> Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_USER"] But you need to enable Reverse DNS Lookup for you IIS. or string PCName = Dns.GetHostEntry(Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"]).HostName; Thanks, Mahesh Thanks, Mahesh Rushighatage, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

Hi,

Try like this.

I think, you can get like this

--> Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"]
--> Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_HOST"]
--> Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_USER"]

But you need to enable Reverse DNS Lookup for you IIS.

or

string PCName = Dns.GetHostEntry(Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"]).HostName;

Thanks,
Mahesh

Thanks,
Mahesh
