Re: Remote MAC address on Windows
there you go!

Stephen Barncard wrote: Hi, J. I assume your clients want to do this like we used to with Hypercard, sharing a single stack. Are they trying to save per-seat charges, by saying that one user at a time is good enough? No, not like that. The standalone needs to be loaded from the server, and there should be no installation of anything required on any client machines. The client machines will open the standalone directly from the server. This puts a copy in memory on the local machine. It is more complex than I've explained. There are multiple files on the server that have to be managed and they change often. The goal is to keep everything in one place and not have to install software anywhere else. How about, as I've mentioned, a splash screen standalone at each seat to do the local authentication? And do something at the remote served stack level that allows only x users at a time... they won't be able to run the stack alone without an IDE and knowing the way in. Is the client having an IDE a concern? The number of concurrent users is unrestricted so that's not a problem. The copy on the server probably won't even be running most of the time; it will only be launched remotely by other machines. What you mention is pretty much the way it runs now. We have a copy of the app on every individual machine, and each one has to be separately installed because each has a different MAC address. On large installations this is a real pain. The goal now is to keep nothing on the client machines and have everyone access the software from a central location. I just had another thought. I know Windows allows multiple instances of an app to run. Does OS X? I guess I never tried it over a network; I've been assuming it will work. Note that the app on the server will almost never be running. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

When the software is installed on the server, it gets the MAC address by itself and stores it. The issue arises when a copy of the software on a remote machine starts up and needs to cross-check with the server to see if the server is running a valid copy. I need the server's MAC address for that. Note that no software will be installed on any client machines. Everything has to be read across the network. Storing info in a file that can be read remotely seems to be the only way to deal with the problem, but then that leaves a hole in the security. Anyone who copies that file and installs it on a different, unlicensed network will have full access. The text file, encrypted or not, needs to be hidden and inaccessible to users while still being accessible to a remote machine inquiry. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Remote MAC address on Windows
Run ifconfig on the server, plop the output into a text file on a shared folder, examine said shared file. Or, if possible, email the text file and then parse. If you have permission to run a remote shell, then you can run that in directly from the remote end. ARP info from: http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gorry/course/inet-pages/arp.html 'The figure below shows the use of arp when a computer tries to contact a remote computer on the same LAN (known as sysa) using the ping program. It is assumed that no previous IP datagrams have been received form this computer, and therefore arp must first be used to identify the MAC address of the remote computer.' So the 'ping, wait and arp -a' should work, you might want to pipe the output to a file. Other than that you could have a look at packet sniffers and check out the client server negotiations. http://www.wireshark.org Cheers, Luis. J.
