[dba-Tech] Workstation identification

I would use the username and the IP address.  At least that narrows down the
Jcolby to a specific location.

Gustav,

>> you could retrieve the IP address but it would be the outside
address of the front router not the workstation's. <<

...and that's where I see that pcpitstop.com is onto something. Its report
shows both IP addresses, external and internal. I presume that the internal
address is gleaned from some ActiveX control. Not that I want to mess with
adding an ActiveX control to a .NET application.

Well, your good sense suggestion of simply the username is what I'll wind up
doing. Thanks.
