Not possible.. Getting client's computer name is sheer violation of privacy policy... Its like asking for your email password.. Will you give it if someone asks you?

You can use following piece of code and see if it helps

C#

string[] hostEntries = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(Request.ServerVariables["remote_addr"]).HostName.Split(new Char[] { '.' });

txtECN.Text = hostEntries [0].ToString();

However, not sure how it will behave in case the user is "behind" firewall/proxy.

Hope that helps
