If you are willing to lowering your security options to a level of unacceptable here are some links that may help you:

Link 1[^]
Link 2[^]
In addition to this, another way is to do reverse IP lookup if this is a intranet machine.

Good luck

You can Try this, but this will work on Internet Explorer:

XML

<script type="text/javascript">
function GetComputerName()
{
    try
    {
        var network = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Network');
        // Show a pop up if it works
        alert(network.computerName);
    }
    catch (e) { }
}
</script>
<html>
<body onload="GetComputerName()"></body>
</html>

hope it helps :)
