hello,i meat a problem,

it is that i bought AD. from yahoo searching,
but we get a lot of dynamic ips from the same c class,
and it look like that it is from the same organtion or the same pc,

after we found the problem,we try to contact yahoo,
they said that it look the searching reposr have a lot of problem, :eek:
i am not sure how yahoo will place the problem and if they will refund the fee to us,
i just feel that their system is not smart as they say to people,
so i hope i can take some operation to record more detail about the vistors from the AD.

so,i want to ask if there is any scripts that we can insert it within our page or server,
and record more details about the vistors,
it is like the number of NIC ( network interface card ) or any other method,

can anyone give me some suggestion?

thanks a lot. :)

I probably understood about five words worth of that and have no clue in the world what your problem actually is, but no, you cannot pull up a remote user's MAC address with a web script.

MAC addresses are only used point-to-point, not end-to-end, so there's no
easy way. If a client can't locate the IP address it wants on the local
subnet, sends the request to the default gateway's IP address (ie it gets
and uses the MAC address of the default gateway. The default gateway does
the same thing for it's default gateway, until eventually the packet ends up
at your server)

If the remote machine is running Windows -and- NetBIOS over TCP/IP -and- the
NetBT ports are open and all routers inbetween route NetBT then you can do
it, but that's usually fairly rare!

If the client and the server are on the same ethernet collision domain, then
you can get it from the arp table that the server maintains (how you do that
in PHP I don't know though).

The short answer to this is that you need to keep contacting Yahoo as this looks like a case of click fraud.

However, to answer your question directly -- there is no way to find out (without end user interaction) how many network cards, hard disks or other components a client machine has.

hello,
is it possible to use cookie or any method to save the info of the vistor?
the more the better.

thanks a lot.

You cannot get that information from the user without their knowledge and consent; so you can use a cookie to save the information, but this will be stored on the client end, not on your end.

thanks for all the help.

it look likely that i can only use cookie to get the info of client,
but if the user clean the cookie,all the record will been gone!!

thanks a lot. ;)
