That's right. From the standpoint of your HTTP server, your tablet's machine name just does not exist. This is the normal situations=, even with desktop computers. Most client systems are never prescribed in DNS data.

If you can explain your ultimate goal, you may have a chance to get some alternative advice. I have no idea why and how would you need to identify the machine. For Web applications, this is quite untypical. (Isn't it a Web application, with Request representing a HTTP request?)

Not a good idea. I answered. Instead, you can introduce user authentication.
