On the network

[walkingboots]

I would like to use one computer to read a file/a page (index.html) on another computer, then just would also like to read teh former's IP address. Something impossible to do in this small program ?
Sorry, I am just very new to this, please help...
Thank you so very much.

You want to read a file from another computer and get that computer's IP address?

If so, this would need to be done with something other than scripting.

Thank you, I just wanted to get his IP, OS and time when he read teh file, what other suggestions might you have for me ? Thank you

It sounds like PHP or ASP would do what you need. But PHP and ASP must be done through a web server that reads PHP or ASP. I would suggest posting in PHP as well. I do not know much ASP. Also JavaScript can detect the OS using "navigator.userAgent.indexOf(*OS ID*)". It reads the OS ID and returns a value. I am not sure what all the OS IDs are.

This will give you the IP with PHP.

<?php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

echo "<input type='text' name='ip' value='$ip'>";
?>
