      That's not possible. Some web sites use script to somehow get that info, but you won't get it from an IP address. Google for security software, you're bound to find a page that reports details of the PC. Do a view source on it.

          They may be able to ping the IP address and work it out from the response, the IP address itself does not contain that info. http://javascript.internet.com/user-details/browser-info.html[^] would be an example of what I meant with things being discovered with javascript. http://javascript.internet.com/user-details/info-table.html[^] seems to be even better.

              Also remember that an IP address may have several things behind it. The IP address I have has Windows XP, Windows Media Centre Edition, a Windows Mobile device and an XBox360 routing through it.

                Easy. A client-side Java Script component. The code that shows the machine details is running in the BROWSER, not on the server side.
