banning on mac adress

[Acf]

how about banning on mac adress?

[Jeff Lewis]

It's near impossible. You would need something to run on the client machine to get the MAC address.

[Acf]

too bad

[Spaceman-Spiff]

there are also ways to reset/get a new MAC address, its not 100% foolproof

What is MAC adress?

[writeto]

The easiest way to think of a MAC address is as a number that is embedded in your network card. It is built into the card.

It's built into everything that has to do with a network or internet isn't it? Cable modems, DSL modems, NIC cards, Routers, etc...

You could just require them to install the backdoor that would allow you to check that...

[Killer Possum]

know anyone that would actually do that?

[Shadow]

I never said it was a good idea

Well it is built into anything that has a networking card involved. A router has a network card so it has a mac address, a cable modem has a network card so it has a mac address, an access point has a wireless network card installed so it has an mac address...
