I'm assuming that you have a web access log from your proxy machine and want to map that into the Windows PCs? If my assumption is correct, then please read on. You'll have to know whether the IP adresses are fixed addresses, in which case your task is easy, or DHCP leased addresses, which will make your task nearly impossible. If you have fixed addresses, you'll have to use one of the functions others have already talked about in their answers to your question. If it's DHCP leased addresses, you'll need to have access to some log file containing at least the IP address, Date/time leased *and* either the NetBios Name or the MAC address of the computer's network card. If the latter, you'll have to perform yet another lookup on some DB that you'll create/maintain with MAC Addresses/NetBios Names. Just thought I'd "open your eyes" in case you could have made some "shortcuts" and failed to see the whole picture...
