Hi, how can I get the client's computer name in a web application. The user in a network.

Regards

// Already tryed this option

string IP = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
string compName = DetermineCompName(IP);

System.Net.IPHostEntry teste = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(IP);
ssresult = IP + "   -   " + teste.HostName;

// TODO: Write implementation for action

private static string DetermineCompName(string IP)
{
   IPAddress myIP = IPAddress.Parse(IP);
   IPHostEntry GetIPHost = Dns.GetHostEntry(myIP);
   string[] compName = GetIPHost.HostName.ToString().Split('.');
   return compName[0];
}

All of that, gives me only the IP :/
