Hi All,
Is there any way of identifying a unique name for each computer on
a network
without using a plugin. I would like each workstation to register on a
server program but they each need to be unique. It would be nice to
get
something automatically through RB without having to write a unique
name for
each machine manually. TCP/IP numbers are no use as they often change.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Or just do the simple, stupid thing.
Generate a 128-bit random string. The odds of a collision are so
fantastically tiny, you don't need to worry about it.
