Getting Client computer name ASP .NET

Question

We are using :

System.Net.Dns.Resolve(Request.ServerVariables("remote_addr")).HostName

to get the client computer name in ASP .NET.

It works fine when run from visual studio, and even when run from IIS7, but IIS6 (or maybe some other factor) is only returning the client computer's domain name

Are there any settings or anything that would cause this function to return the domain name instead of the intended machine name?

Answer 1

Dns.Resolve is now obsolete and so thatmight be causing the issue. Try using Dns.GetHostEntry instead and see if that fixes the issue.
