try using one of the time packages we have mentioned, the time server has
to support udp packets, and the first string is the time and date that the
computone was Rebooted last, so unless you reboot two servers at the same
exact second, you have a unique ID. and fyi if you look at the front of the
manual you got with your computone(GREEN ONE) it say INTELISERVER not Power
Rack, there was an Addendum Pamplete that came with it that goes over this.
