Tomas,
If your IT group names the desktops in your office after the users (ie.
joeblow.somecompany.com) you can use the request.getRemoteHost() method.
Otherwise, If your intranet uses static IPs, (which I doubt it does), you
could create a mapping of IP address and user name in a file and then use
the request.getRemoteAddr() method.
