I’m trying to find a resource to get a few things about the user identity for security purposes. I’m trying to get ipv6 ipaddress, and the computer name or host name using classic asp and vb6. If I can’t use vb6 I would like to use jQuery or javascript if possible.
In asp, I can get the ipv4 using request.ServerObject(“REMOTE_ADDR”) I believe.
If you need this in ASP I’m unaware of anything you can use to get this directly.
It is possible to write a Class in VB6 that calls DnsQuery in Dnsapi.dll to do first a DNS_TYPE_PTR query to reverse-lookup the IPv4 address to get the DNS name and then a DNS_TYPE_AAAA query to retrieve the corresponding IPv6 address (if any).
…
Hmm, no code handout no rep eh? (insert smiley here)
Well this is a bit of code to post here inline… maybe look at {VB6} DNS Lookup Class as a starting point.
