Subject: [DUG]: Unique Machine ID....

G'Day All,

I know this one has been asked ad nauseum but.....

I need to come up with a unique identifier for a machine. For my purposes a NIC address would be sufficient. I am willing to wear the small chance that two network cards would have the same NIC address. However the concern I do have is for a computer that does not have a NIC but only a dial up connection. Obviously then there is no NIC address? Can someone comment on that? Also, if anyone has a relatively simple mechanism to obtain a unique ID for each machine I would be much obliged.
