Now ICC has stopped guests using the server, I want to create a trail
account, then when it expires, create a second one. (I am registered BTW)

But those trial expires after a week or two. Does anyone know how ICC
know how a particular computer has had a trial recently?

I've tried looking for blitzin in the registry on my XP box and note
there are plenty of references to it after the program has been
unistalled. Some I can't remove, so its possible its stored in one of
those. And of course, they don't need to use that name.

Or does Blitzin detect the MAC address perhaps? I looked on Wikipedia
and found how to change the MAC address. Unfortunately I did not write
the old one down, but an attempt to change it, disable the adapter and
then enable the adapter, made the system unstable. After a reboot it was
fine.

If I know for sure it is the MAC address they detect, then I'll spend a
bit of time and change that if possible. I know its a function of the
hardware (network adapter), but I believe it can be spoofed n Windows.

Blitzin don't use the IP address - at least not in isolation anyway.

Sorry ICC if you don't like what I want to do, but I don't really don't
care. The guest accounts were useful so if I can find a way of creating
an anonymous account, I will do so. I pay for a service.

Although I am a certified MCSE (Minefield Consultant and Solitaire
Expert), I don't know much about Windows. Perhaps I should leave it to
the 8-year old who was at one time the youngest MCSE !!! (Dave, not a
Windoze fan).

PS, if anyone wants to tell me how its done, but not on a Newsgroup,
just hit reply - the email address will be valid, despite the From:
addressing being useless.
