You can use a simple batch file to do this. Just put a shortcut to it on the desktop and ask them to run it for you:
@echo off
echo The name of this computer is
hostname
echo ================================
echo The ip configuration of this computer is
netsh interface ipv4 show address
pause
Maybe not perfect, but it's free!
This will work for Windows 7 machines, but for XP, replace the netsh command with ipconfig.

Or if you want to give your users a graphical interface, put the following in a .cmd file:
@echo off
echo The name of this computer is > info.txt
hostname >> info.txt
echo ================================ >> info.txt
echo The ip configuration of this computer is >> info.txt
netsh interface ipv4 show address >> info.txt
notepad info.txt
del info.txt
