Identify visitor without session

[Mike Kansky]

Scenario:

2 Computers on the network going through proxy (same ip/hostname). Both do
not accept any kind of cookies.
Visiting web site that needs to supply different content to each of this
computers.

Is there any other way to identify computer 1 and 2?

Maybe i can get a Machine ID in asp.net, like request.userhostaddress maybe
there is another request object that can help to get anything unique from
each computer? I can also use Javascript to find something unique, so i open
to ideas.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Mike,

Are you able to use the cookie-less session in ASP.NET 2.0? It makes an ugly
URL because it encodes the session ID in the querystring. Still, it might
help:

Or better yet, the cookieless anonymous identification feature in ASP.NET
2.0 (identifies distinct users w/o Session [which is a good thing])
