hi
How to get the cpu id of the client from where the request came to the
server.
for e.g am sending a request to a server from one system then i want to
capture the cpu id of that system

Can anybody tell me how to solve this problem.
what methods to be followed to get this.

Thanx in advance

Let me guess, you're trying to devise some bullet-proof technique to
uniquely identify the client machine.
Well, in an Internet scenario there just isn't any reliable way.
Forms Authentication is generally the best way to authenticate a user,
though.

The only way to get low level system information to uniquely identify the
user's hardware would be with some kind of thick client, such as an ActiveX
control.

Try focussing on the actual business requirement (only a registered PC may
access the application?) rather than the assumed implementation (get cpu
id). For example, when the user initially creates a login account, perhaps
save their user id to a local cookie. Each time the user subsequently
attempts to login, verify the cookie. If the cookie cannot be verified, then
require the user to go through a re-authentication process before they can
receive a new cookie and login.

Also, while IP is not a reliable method of identifying an individual user or
PC, each IP range is owned by a specific organization. If the first 2 octets
(xxx.xxx) if their IP address change, then that would be an indication that
they are browsing from behind a completely different corporate firewall or
internet service provider, which would be another reason to impose a
re-authentication.
