Accessing the Hardware Address of the Network Interface Card will give you a
truly unique number for any make of machine, (12 digit hex), however the
method for extracting the address might be different depending on the
manufacturer of the Network Interface Card. If you were to get the machines
TCP/IP address you could then use ARP to get the hardware address (this
approach would work even with changing TCP/IP addresses).

Mr. Adam ALLEN.
