NSLookup in ASP
Posted on 2012-04-05
What is the easiest way to get a client host name in an ASP page?
This will give me my client IP address but I need to get the host computer name not address.
Is there and easy lookup tool or another syntax I can use?
Thanks
comp_name=Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST")

What do you mean by client name?
It returns the name of the computer you run it agains, server or no server.

The computer I am accessing the asp page through is the client. I want it to set comp_name to the name of my computer. For example my computer is called "API-GRP-WRK-445", the asp page is hosted on our IIS server "API-SVR-IIS-00".
When i use your code it will return the comp_name as "API-SVR-IIS-00" not "API-GRP-WRK-445".

You may have to ping the ip address yourself to get the computer name using the following command:
ping -a ipaddress
ping -a ipaddress
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I used this
Works perfect! Pity there is no simplie way of doing it.
Dim comp_name
Dim oShell, oExec, sCommand, sOutput
comp_name= Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST")
sCommand = "%comspec% /c @echo off & for /f ""tokens=2"" %q in ('ping -n 1 -a " & sIP & "^|find /i ""pinging""') do echo %q"
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oExec = oShell.Exec(sCommand)
sOutput = oExec.StdOut.ReadAll
Set oExec = Nothing
Set oShell = Nothing
comp_name = sOutput
Works perfect! Pity there is no simplie way of doing it.
