Info about Web site visitors.

[bona]

I want to keep information about Web site visitors. What except of the IP address can I find about them: is it possible to catch a computer name (like in VB6 use API function "GetComputerName"), or any other info?

you can get browser information but that is about it. Internet is anonymous by nature.

Yes the browser capabilities object can tell you what browser they are using and what platform they are on but it can be vague. for example the platform will return winnt for windows xp etc.

Thanks, guys. How about an Intranet? The site will be located at the company Intranet, the users will be logged to a site. But that login will be only tested from the SQL server table for a valid username/password combination, so it is possible that someone who knows a correct username/password can gain access to the site. My aim is to find from which computer the login has been made.

Your intranet should be part of your company's domain which would mean that all PC IP numbers would start with similiar numbers, so you could check that.
As an intranet though how would anyone else access it? An intranet by design has no link to the outside world normally.

On an intranet, you could use something like Active Directory.

I mean that this site contains data which allows to access only by the certain number of employees. So keeping track of the visitors is just additional measure to be sure that at least only specified computers accessed the site.
