You can't. The MAC address doesn't go past the Router (and is only unique within a LAN segment anyway), the IP address is of the Router, not the actual client computer (which will probably be 192.168.0.xxx for all clients anyway and can be different each time the PC is powered up), the computer name is not available for security reasons.

The only way to identify a computer to a server is to place a cookie on it and read it back: you cannot get the computer info without adding software to the computer that can be communicated with directly (and that's pretty much impossible these days).

Did you actually read OriginalGriff's answer? You cannot get this information in a webbrowser for security reasons. If it was possible then it would lead to all sorts of hacking.

Then you need to re-conceptualize the project; block everyone and only allow those you want, like Authentication/Authorization
