Answer 1

Hi @Ahmed Salah Abed Elaziz,

The client's computer name is not available in any way on the server. This is the nature of the http request-response. You only can have its IP address.

string IP = Request.UserHostName;
string compName = CompNameHelper.DetermineCompName(IP);

Best regards,

as suggested you only get the client ipaddress. if the client is not behind a firewall or router that does not perform nat translation, you can do a dns lookup. in practice this will only work for an intranet, that is local computers on the same network as the IIS site.
