How to get client machine name and IP address

Question

Hi,
In my office I have one SERVER which has FORMS & Report Server installed and all the clients are accessing that application thru the following URL :
http://OraServer:8889/forms/frmservlet
to get the machine name I have read into a global variable like this
SELECT USERENV('TERMINAL' ) into :global.clientname FROM DUAL;
but obviously all the time its returning the SERVER machine name...not the name where client is accessing the program....so how can I get the client machine name..
thanks

Hi Frank,
Well I am using Developer Suite 10g Release (10.1.2.0.2) ..I've gone thru the link what you have sent me and noticed that whatever updations of conf file or classpath its already there so i guess needn't to modify cause I think my release 10.1.2.0.2 has did already as webutils been bundled with it.
Well What i did is to double click on ATTACH LIBRARY and browse the location to find webutil.pll and finally attached it...even though its showing me all the procedures like clientinfo and others...
on my block's canvas I've put a button and used this trigger to get client info function like this.
when-button-pressed trigger of INFOBUTTON
DECLARE
o_clientinfo varchar2(50) := Webutil_clientinfo.GET_HOST_NAME ;
begin
message(o_clientinfo);
end;
but when I am trying to open this form its simply not showing up..strange thing is that there is no error as well...so plz kindly guide me how to get clientinfo hostname or ipaddress using that library function.
thanks
