Get the client's computer name

Question

I am getting the client\'s (website user\'s) IP address. Now I\'d like to go one step further by knowing the user\'s computer name. So far, my research has not turned up any

Answer 1

The only thing you could do is try to get a DNS name for the client. "Computer Name" is a Windows made-up thing. Just call the built-in function gethostbyaddr() with the client's IP address. However, it won't always (hardly ever) work.
