If it's a Del, they have a program to track stolen items. If you recall the service tag, you can report is as stolen so if anyone calls to get support, they get caught.
There are some websites where you can report a serial number as stolen. I'd call any pawn shop in the city Miguel --- El jue, 3/3/11, Micheal Espinola Jr <[email protected]> escribió: De: Micheal Espinola Jr <[email protected]> Asunto: Re: Tracking stolen laptop via IP address (internet) Para: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> Fecha: jueves, 3 de marzo, 2011 22:23 Any software installed can be defeated.

MAC addresses are not propagated past the local IP network. If they're connected via a local router or other such device, the ISP will never even see the MAC address. Even if they directly connect, only the ISP's edge router is going to see the MAC address. I don't think most ISPs are prepared to search for a MAC address anywhere on their network. Even if they were, you would have to have the cooperation of every ISP on the Internet to find it. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin No virus found in this message.
