How to get the client machine name from a server
You will get most of the details of
the client machine using the
"Request.ServerVariables"
// Try the following C# code
System.Net.IPHostEntry host = new System.Net.IPHostEntry();
host = System.Net.Dns.GetHostByAddress(Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_HOST"]);
lbl.Text = host.HostName;

Answer 2

Host name:
Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_HOST"]
See http://www.w3schools.com/asp/coll_servervariables.asp
Resolve country:
public static RegionInfo ResolveCountry()
{
CultureInfo culture = ResolveCulture();
if (culture != null)
return new RegionInfo(culture.LCID);
return null;
}

This uses the PC's setup Language/Country.
By IP try an example at:

Which involves checking the requesting IP adresses against a database of IP locations.
You could also use an IP for a service that already supports this such as:
