I'm using php and I want to get the name of the requesting computer using php.
I'm currently using "gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])"
Many people say that this gets the requesting computer's name, but in reality it is only getting the name of the modem/router that the computer is connected to. I know.
Is there a function that "bypasses" the router/modem and gets the name of the requesting computer? Or do most routers use Network Address Translation?
Thanks,
