I assume you're talking about ASP.Net, even though you failed to add the tag to your question.

For the client, parse the string you get back from this property:

Request.UserAgent

For the server itself, try this Codeproject article (it ain't hard to do, but the article explains some stuff):

Easily Get and Compare OS Version Information[^]

lastly, learn to use Google. This question is EASILY answered with a simple google search.

There is no single protocol or code for identifying devices on a network. Not all devices with an IP have a client or server operating system as you would think. You will also not see past firewalls configured to prevent external access.

You can try A Network Sniffer in C#[^] to see what's out there (by traffic type/source) and then use known protocols (WMI, bonjour perhaps?) to try to identify computers if they respond.

Cheers.
