"You shouldn't, but sadly you have to" ? In that if you knew what GET and
POST requests to make to their website to register, then you could use any
OS and client you wished to. But you can't find this information out without
sniffing the wire while running their application. By which time you've
already had to find Windows to run it, and by the end of your sniffing you
are registered?

If they're not using DHCP until the end of their registration, how does their
app connect with their website to perform the registration process?
