This project has 2 components to it...
Component 1:
Create a bootable cd. More than likely this bootable cd will have linux as it's operating system. This bootable cd should be able to boot at least 90% of pc's 2 years older or newer. I would believe that one of the challenges with this component would be including a wide range of current ethernet drivers on the cd, and would be able to include newer versions of those drivers in the future.
Component 2:
After the bootable cd starts the pc and connects to the internet, a stripped down version of a web browser should start. This "stripped down version" should not include an address bar or any navigation buttons. The browser should start, make a call to a particular web service, passing to the web service the MAC address of the pc it's running on. If the web services returns a "true" then the browser should navigate to a designated website. If the browser returns a "false", the browser should notify the operator of an error and end the program.
