etpro guid changing

by teente • 2 Jan 2007, 11:48 • Forums › Enemy Territory
So I have this problem... my etpro guid is changing (well, not a new guid every day, but it swaps from one guid to another - so once I have guid A and then B and then again A etc...). I don't use any USB device that could change it. I don't do anything with hardware so if you know of other things that can change your etpro guid (no, not guidspoofer) please tell me which those are.) THX

No, I don't use 2 HDDs. I'm running windows XP proffesional. For other specs of PC check my profile... maybe the Catalyst drivers are the reason? dunno...

blocking some hw serials etc.

I'm quite sure it's software related or "Well, my village is connected to the city with 2 lines and when A is like full I swap to B... could that be the reason?" which ronner thinks may be the reason...
EDIT... but when I think about it it didn't change with old PC which was connected the same way... and tbh I have quite the same software installed as I had on old pc... that's weird :x

Well, a GUID is hardware based, and not IP based, so a dynamic IP shouldn't matter. I think you have some program which changes from one MAC address to another.

i always use "insert guid here please" on public
▼
bh_ 2 Jan 2007, 12:42
just an idea:

your router and your pc has an own mac adress and maybe they are a kind of mixed up and changing your guid everytime :)

The etpro guid on a windows pc is based on your hdd.
In linux it's based on the MAC-Address.

That's what I read on the etpro forums. Maybe the MAC-Address does have an influence on windows either.

I think they are lying, I changed my video card and my guid got changed as well. oO

Plus many people use MAC spoofers to change their guid on windows, so it cannot only be for linux users.

I had the problem once, but that was the harddrives that was the prob, as perfo said in #1.

When i booted with 1 hdd it had one guid, and another with both hdd's.

I had something like that recently, one day my guid has changed from A to B, then 2 days after that it has changed back to A. No idea why, I didn't even turn my PC on during that time and I'm sure nobody changed anything in it.
