(assuming that you are using CGI) You can check the IP of the computer connecting to you through: `$ENV{REMOTE_ADDR}` The machine that the script is running on is: `$ENV{SERVER_NAME}` The User agent: `$ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT}` is only good for the browser name and version. Hope this helps. If you aren't referring to a CGI/Web app, please mention what you are using. --jb	[reply] [d/l] [select]
