As the ASP code is run on the server, due to security reasons you are unable to harvest certain information about your users systems.

For the IP address, you may use:

<%
Dim UserIPAddress
UserIPAddress = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")
If UserIPAddress = "" Then
  UserIPAddress = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
End If
%>

Whilst you could just simply use:

Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")

This might not work when the user is behind an office-based proxy.
