Asuming a windows network.... The easiest way to do this is to run your website on IIS, disable anonymous authentication, enable Windows authentication.

If you web site is running ASP or ASP.NET, you can easily capture the user's username via Request.ServerVariables.

VB: Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
C#: Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"]

If not, you can use Forms Based Authentication (ASP.NET), or build your own authentication system.

What server side scripting language are you running on your site, or planning to run?

If it is just a matter of access control, changing the IIS settings for the website will suffice, and you shouldn't need to make any changes to the actual site. If you want to be able to identify the actual user and do something with that information on the website it self like custom options etc, then you can do something like JorgeM suggested.

Not possible with HTML alone if you want to identify the user within your web application.

If you simply want to make sure that authenticated users can access the app, you can do so by running your site on IIS and enabling Windows Authentication.
