Hello there!
i was wondering if its possible to ban player's computer, so anyone join with the banned computer will be kicked..
And GetPlayerIP will not return ip of the client's computer.
So any help?



Thanks in advance.

It called GCPI.
You better read this before using it, however.

i think this depends on hashing windows, so get user name and password.. any other guy has the same user name and password will they both will have same series code, am i wrong in that?

No, as mentioned below, there is a 5% chance of another guy to have the same serial as you do.
To the point, this method is really inaccurate, so you may ban innocent players.

In a combination of that function with few other things, I can say it is really accurate on catching ban evaders (over 90% accuracy) and by sending a message to the online admins about a possible ban evader, you can easily get rid of them!

Of course, banning according to it only is a bad idea but that is not the reason that function was added anyways.

You are correct, I was only referring to the GCPI as the only factor of the ban.
