I'm not a huge Javascript person, but I do think that you need to declare the variables first??? Not sure though
Anyone else have any ideas?

http://sharkysoft.com/tutorials/jsa/content/040.html has what you're looking for, I think.

That looks like it should work but it doesn't for me. I think a perl script would be the only way to get a result almost every time. Using java seems to be very inconsistant.

I would personally use either SSI or Php.
For SSI:

You must declare using var before the variable names.
e.g.
var myaddress ...

Hmm... just checked again on Google. Look what I found at http://javascript.internet.com/user-details/hostname.html
I tested the following code in Netscape 4.7 and it worked just fine.
Code from http://www.irt.org/discus/messages/25/236.html
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">myAddress=java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost();
myAddress2=java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost();
host=myAddress.getHostName();
ip=myAddress2.getHostAddress();
document.write("Your host name is "+host);
document.write("<BR>Your IP address is "+ip);
</script>

Isn't that the exact same code as above and in the Java link?
I think it's better to do it server-side -- more reliable and no client side errors to screw you up.

Yes Perl, Php, or ssi. However you like it and whatever capabilities your server has.

Yes, it looks like it, except for capitalisation of a few characters, and that the first snippet didn't work but the one in the link did.
I agree that server side is the way to go for this.

I would have to agree, server side scripting would be the best solution... whatever langauge is available
CF = #CGI.remote_host#
In fact I think that REMOTE_HOST would work for almost any langauge, I know it does in asp. I have been wrong before tho
