My logon activity screen isn't as useful as it could be with computer names.

SQL 2K, IIS 5, Classic ASP"

The only way to do this in a web app is to have some kind of client-side code that grabs the computer name and passes it to the web server, via a form control. You *might* be able to do this with JavaScript, but it may only work properly on Windows machines and only those using Internet Explorer.

Many ASP/JavaScript sites have some browser sniffing code, try your favorite site, or here:
