With VBScript you can use WScript.Network object. The user must activate its ActiveX controls.
With normal javascript, I am sure it is not possible, otherwise, it could become a security issue laugh.gif

I believe Java has some built-in limitations that make it very difficult (if not impossible) to actually do something like that. As apacheNewbie said, it could be a security breach and thus it is most likely not possible to implement using Java.

Use phpinfo() to see all of the $_SERVER, $_ENV, and GLOBALS that are available on the Server.
I doubt if the client's Computer Name is accessible via those arrays, and I believe there are restrictions against using javascript to find them, but I might be wrong...
