from everything ive read, programs that require host id do it different ways, some have a small utility built it to give you the informations you/they need, others use part or all of your mac address, that you look up in ip/ command prompt and email to them. without knowing what program in specific you are trying to load it is a shot in the dark to be any more specific than i have above.
