Not really, but if your computers have windows nt or higher, you may be able to run a script that sets the username for that pc into a text file. Then you can use that text file for a program.

These environment variables will help you.

%username%
%computername%

You can get a logon ID if know the IP address or the computer name with NBTSTAT.EXE commmand. Go into command prompt and type "nbtstat -a [ip address or computer name]". This will display the computer name, master domain and ID that's logon.

NO!!.
but you can configrure your system to a domain or workgroup with DHCP or static and use a username/password on that domain or workgroup any where in the world and gain access.

There is a utility on the NT Resource kit called Net Watch. Using this you can see everyone on the network with the user name, computer name and the resources they are using. This is a very useful tool.
