Hi folks,

I have to write a Visual Basic 6.0 Program and need to uniquely identify a
computer in a network and the user mustn't be able to change that id while

my
program is running. So the Volume Serial Number of the HDD isn't a

possibility,
because you can set the Volume SN whatever you want and therefore it's not
unique in a Network. I heard that there's a manufacturer's Serial Number

on the
HDD that can't be changed and that is unique (worldwide?). How can I get

that SN
with VB6? Or do you have any other ideas? Like a BIOS SN?


What's wrong with the NIC's MAC address?
