Identifying computers behind a NAT

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
For billing and licensing reasons in our product, I need to be able to identify machines when they connect to our server... 

The issue that we have is that these machines may be behind a NAT firewall and we dont see the real IP of the machine... 

Is there any way at all to identify a socket connection as belonging to a certain machine other than just IP address?  For example, would I be able to look at the TCP packets acknowledge numbers and that in combo with the IP would give me some idea of the machines behind the NAT?

Thanks
Lyle
