See http://www.activeworlds.com/sdk/aw_world_ejection_add.htm.

"If AW_EJECTION_TYPE is AW_EJECT_BY_COMPUTER, AW_EJECTION_ADDRESS specifies
the 32-bit ID of the computer to be blocked. However, there is currently no
mechanism for directly querying the ID of a user's computer from the SDK.
Ejections by computer ID are added automatically by the world server
whenever a user is ejected via aw_world_eject and their computer has an ID
available. Once the ejection is in place, the computer ID can be determined
by scanning the ejection database using either aw_world_ejection_next or
aw_world_ejection_previous. "

If it was possible to query this all sorts of things would be possible like
letting tourists only delete property that the computer they are using made,
etc.

That ID eject feature should be removed because you can quickly and easy
change the ID of the computer to bypass the ejection.

Lots of people don't even know how to clear cache.

Without modification to software, this would require buying a new network
card ;). I don't think the average person has millions to spend on new
network cards to get around bans.

Or you could manually type in a new "Network address" in the properties for the network interface card.

[View Quote] 99% of ISPs I've seen don't allow you to do this. For good reason. I
find it funny that roadrunner tells people not to make permanent IP
numbers because everyone else wouldn't be able to get online. (which
isn't true because I'm sure I've done it twice while setting up linux
with their modem)

You're mixing up the MAC address and the IP address now. The MAC address is only used to
uniquely identify a network adapter on a LAN.

oops, apparently some ISP's require you to register and always use a certain MAC address but
none of the ones I've used here in Sweden (a lot) require you to do that.

Its not that I want it for ejection purposes - I want it to stop tourists
who didn't build objects deleting other people's.... :-S

[View Quote] No, I am not confusing the MAC address with a permanent IP. You were
suggesting setting up a permanent IP.

Setting a permanent IP is done in the TCP/IP settings. I clearly stated that I was talking about the
network interface card properties.

Lots of people don't have a CompID, those tourists can't even delete their own stuff
then?

[View Quote] "Or you could manually type in a new "Network address" in the properties

I don't see "Network Address" anywhere under TCP/IP's configs for any
device that connects to any network service. Unless you meant "IP
address" instead of "Network Address." That reasonably makes more sense
than "Machine Address Code."

But, you have to be more clear. You can't "set" a MAC address through
any reasonable means last I checked. NIC are just fancy acronym for
ethernet cards, and their configurations through TCP is just the same as
any other device (modems for instance).

Maybe I missed the option that let me set it's network address though. :(

As I said, it's in the NIC properties and not in the TCP/IP properties.

It's very easy in Windows 2000 (or newer) provided that the NIC driver supports it.

Bring up the list of hardware, expand the "Network cards" branch select properties on the NIC,
click on the "Advanced" tab. There you should be able to set the "Network address".

They would be able to but other people - :-S
