Always 'localhost' from Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_NAME"]

[L Scott]

I am wanting to get the machine name that is running IIS. I have code in
the 'Application_BeginRequest' event of the Global.asax and even if I access
the web site from another machine I am always getting 'localhost' in the
SERVER_NAME variable. Any way to get the actual machine name?

See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/iissdk/iis/servervariables.asp
for the intended meaning of the SERVER_NAME server variable. For the local
machine name on the server, try using System.Environment.MachineName
instead.

HTH,
