Retriving MAC Addy CPU ID or something else for identification

[Stephan]

I made a poll script every thing is working nice my only problem is that i just got the ip to check if a user allready voted...as i guess everyone knows the ip changes everytime the connection is resetted so if they come back some days later the can vote again and i want to avoid that

i wanna make it available for guest too so they need not be logged in so i got no user to associate with

plus i wanna make it most conftable for my guests that the dont have to enter email and confirm or something like that just chose answer and click...

i thought mac address or cpu id would be best for that but i cant find a working script

here is all i found:

Set Locator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator"); //shoud just be working under Win XP
Set Service = Locator.ConnectServer(".");
Set properties = service.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration");
I found nearly the same in another Language is that workin on other OS too?
Set Loactor = CreateObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

You would do me a great favor if you can gimmi any help e.g. links, explaination or something like that.

Thank you for reading this!

What language are you using? Here is a link to some pre done ASP polls. I didn't check them out. I would stick with checking the ip address or a cookie.
