Do you have access to any server-side scripting languages? Because javascript won't cut it for this....

No ...
Do you know if I can use VBScript to do it?, and How can I do it?
Thanks.

You need something server side to get the IP.

Cold Fusion, ASP, PHP, Perl, Java, the list goes on...

To get the user's ComputerName and stuff, you'll need ActiveX probably (which is accessed via javascript) But it only works on Windows machines running IE.

Username? What username? Their OS username?

UserName is the name of the User using the PC. Do you know where I can find information about ActiveX and how use it with JavaScript?

Best Regards.

Here's the results I got for searching 'ActiveX' as MSDN
