Hello Scott. In one of your log-files I found that Kaboodle not correctly determines itself MAC address (all-zeroes). Kaboodle determines itself MAC address by the function *BOOL CNIDPC::CreateLocal(...)*. There are 2 points of such determination in above function: - at first the function *bool CNIDPC::GetMacAddressforLocalMachine()* called, - if that calling failed, then the function *int GetMacAddress(...)* called.
I never didn't look inside these functions, I don't know who are the authors of them. Now I have debugged them and found that the function *GetMacAddressforLocalMachine()* don't works correctly. That function cannot work correctly because there is a fundamental error: there absent a source code, which define a size of memory for calling the function *GetIfTable* from the library *iphlpapi.dll*. I implemented that code. Now the function *GetMacAddressforLocalMachine()* works correctly in my tests. Also I looked into the function *GetMacAddress()*. That function always correctly works in my tests, but don't works in your log file. I didn't found any error in that function. I have inserted output additional data from that function into the log file. Also I have added calling of above function always for debugging goal. Please repeat your testing steps and sent you log file. I guess that MAC address will be correct, but I want to get additional debugging data from the function *GetMacAddress()*. - Igor ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott C.
