Read remote hostname from server

Hi to All,

before posting I have read the topics of this forum and I saw in internet interesting articles reltative to my problem,
but,
up to now i' m not able to solve it...

I have a page.asp,
and I want to catch, to extract the name of the client, of the host that in intranet open the server page.asp ...
I have tried in different ways but the results are:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% Option Explicit %>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="it">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>AAA</title>
</head>
<body>
<pre>
<%=Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST")%>
<%=Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADRR")%>
<%=Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")%>
<%=Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")%>
</pre>

REMOTE_HOST and REMOTE_ADRR give me both the IP adress,
HTTP_HOST returns the server name and not the client name,
HTPP_REFERER returns nothing ...

I have IIS,
I saw the property of Services of my Server and I controlled that NetBios is enabled,
I have even seen my FireWall,

what I want is to extract the information of the client that for example can be reached with regedit in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / ControlSet001 / Control / ComputerName / computerName

Thanks a lot in advance for Your attention !!!

Thanks a lot a lot OM_PRAKASH because with your useful link I have solved my problem

The code remains the same:
here I put the only variable that returns remote hostname that submits or opens the server page.asp

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% Option Explicit %>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="it">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>AAA</title>
</head>
<body>
<pre>
<%=Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST")%>
</pre>

But BEFORE we have to do these things on the Server:

1. open DOS window:
2. go to folder C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts
3. write this sintax:
CScript.Exe adsutil.vbs set w3svc/EnableReverseDNS TRUE

in this way is set not the IP adress to be received, but the hostname
