MAC Address changeability/reliability

[battler.]

Nice answers memoryleak, if not a little patronizing.  But that's your style I suppose;-)

I decided yesterday to use the Machine GUID instead of the MAC address.

I would definately like to configure a licence server as you have described but will never get the time.  Be interested in anybodies code postings.

Good work.

After all the bile you spewed, here's someone genuinely trying to help you (like everybody else was), and your response? He was "a little patronizing". Damn, you are an a**, aren't you?

Nice spoken, smercurio.

I get the impression battler has a sense of humor nobody else understands...

I think most of the other a**es out there would take that as an insult.....

Regardless of any failures of attendees in this thread in regard to netiquette, i want to point out that shading component or connection information is known as spoofing. Spoofing can be done on MAC, IP, ARP and other (network) identifiers.

This is something known for many years now and shows (again) that google is your friend in order to find out if certain specs of a system are reliable for "security mechanisms". So i am pondering why we have such a strange thread on the NI forum if the topic is not related to NI in any ways......

just my 5 cents,

Norbert
