I have more than one machine in a place. Here we cant implement IP. We have to do with Client Machine ID or Name. So How I can get Client machine ID?

I want to maintain machine based login systems. i have a inventory product. There I need machine based login systems. Like,- If Admin tells that a Person Mr.A can login from Machine no 10 . Then he can login from machine no 10 not from other machine.

What you are trying to achieve? any PC connected in network will be having an ip. We can guess your machine ip is not a static. But wrong guesses are costlier. So better provide more information.

C#

String strHostName = "";
            strHostName = Dns.GetHostName();
            MessageBox.Show(strHostName.ToString());
            IPHostEntry ipEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry(strHostName);
            IPAddress[] addr = ipEntry.AddressList;

            for (int i = 0; i < addr.Length; i++)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(addr[i].ToString());
            }

The code above will capture the server information, and not the client information as requested in the original question.
