Get HW Unbanned

[kyotee57]

How to remove hardwareban
Install a new Harddrive (HD). You need a new Harddrive-serial. The only was is a new harddrive. You could also set the old HD to “RAID 0” in your BIOS.
Disable “LAN” in “BIOS”
Install a new Networkcard, or at first put it in another slot. This is to change your MACadress.
You can also change your MACadress with many freeware tools online
You can try to play the game now. If you get a window/message mentioning a “GUID BAN”, your gameserial is banned. Then you need a new serial for the game also. Buy a new game. Some have the extra hardware needed, but most need to get a new game CD. Make sure you have no cheats installed, and good luck.

How to change a MAC address under Microsoft Windows
Under Windows, the MAC address is stored in a registry key. To change a MAC address, find that key with `regedit` and change it. Of course, Microsoft keeps moving the location of the key around!

Windows XP adds an option to change the MAC address on some network cards under the Advanced tab in the network adapter's Properties menu.

A much easier and more reliable method to change a MAC address under Windows is to use a software utility program designed to do this for you.

The main word up there is BUY.

With that being said, here is my method:

STEP 1: BUY a whole new computer and modem. No need to google search, edit or disable anything. If using a game that isn't free like AA, BUY a new game.

STEP 2: Install cheat. Get HW banned again. Repeat STEP 1.

if you coded a hardware spoofer or bought yourself one, you'd prolly save time and money...
check out the spoofer source example that's stickied in this forum, then read something on windows drivers and finally, if you've got some asm knowledge, you can write yourself your very own spoofer ;)
