    yes i know. but session is closing a few minute later or when is browser restart or when is pc restart.. i want to get a fixed value of client. like hard disk serial number. because i will know user by this value. for example; if a user visited my home page before i will redirect user to other page. but i will not use cookie, session, ip address. i have to use a uniqe and fixed value of client.

    You can Check Client IP For That . but here some problem may happend, if all the IP Pass thorugh a getway, then it will take the get ways IP.

      WHY? Using cookies is the obvious way to identify user has visited previously.

        There is no reliable way to do this. IP address is not reliable as it may change if you don't have static IP.

          because i will create a poll page. and bad users may want hack my poll. for example user can clear cookies or change ip adress... then i cant take real result. Its because i want use a unique value of client for take true results from my poll. Regards.

              You can't. If you can explain why you need this, probably we can provide some other suggestions.

                Sometimes when surveys are done they actually put in a disclaimer saying that the survey may not reflect true public opinion. I think you are asking for too much by asking for 100% accuracte info.

                    .netman is correct. Web surveys won't be 100% accurate.

                            Every device connected to the internet has a MAC address - which is unique. However, even this can be faked by (temporarily) overriding a registry entry. This can, in fact, be used to fake nearly any identification method for your plan. The ability to flood a poll, or a forum, by a single user acting as "many" has been worked on for some time. You'll not outsmart this possibility as it keeps changing ahead of technology to catch it. Welcome to the Internet!

                                  It doesn't really make much difference here - the message isn't dragged back to the top of the list, unlike QA. Just don't hold your breath waiting for a response! :D
