This email is to be read subject to the disclaimer below. Hi Nick,
Perhaps you have to configure your web server to perform reverse DNS lookups? I believe CGI variables originate from the web server and I know for a fact that Apache has a directive enabling reverse DNS lookups. I don't know if it's possible to do this with IIS (maybe some obscure setting in the registry or metabase?). Alternatively you could just use nslookup: <cfexecute name="c:\winnt\system32\nslookup.exe" arguments=" #cgi.remote_host#"> HTH Vik ---------------------- Viktor Radnai Web Developer Ernst & Young Australia http://www.eyware.com/ http://www.eyonline.com/ http://www.compassweb.com.au/ Direct: +612 9248 4361 Fax: +612 9248 4073 Mobile: +61408 662 546 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: To: "CFAussie Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: mon.com.au Subject: [cfaussie] RE: Determine Client Machine Name 04/06/2003 09:25 AM Please respond to "CFAussie Mailing List" Thanks... tested and returns the local Netbios Table... also tested 'cgi.remote_host' which should return machine name if reverse lookup correctly configured... which it is... yet returns 'ip address' Docs state it will return ip address if reverse lookup fails ...?? have tested reverse lookup form command line and it works fine... anyone dealt with this in the past? regards Nick --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/ -------------------- NOTICE - This communication contains information which is confidential and the copyright of Ernst & Young or a third party.
