i thing they don't want your mac address on windows system.
you only send your mac address on linux system.
in linux system the clines send the packed like this :
username=XXXX&p@$$word=yyyy&srcip=10.23.56.78&macaddress=00 A1 B0 09 69 45 &version=1.0&sessionid=110096618110.23.45.67
on windows system:
username=XXXXX&p@$$word=yyyy&srcip=10.23.45.67&macaddress=&version=2.51&sessionid=110096618110.23.45.67
see the difference[/b]

I am sure they want our macaddress and it is sent also along with our internal ip address inorder for us to log in. I say this because I have tried authenticating myself to Sify directly (without using any client) using telnet. And it worked only when the information was included in the manner shown for linux, with the only correction being that the macaddress is written with a hyphen between the number pairs i.e. like for eg. 00-A1-B0-09-69-45. I think the author of the Reverse Engineering paper probably made a minor error in that but it's corrected by referring to the official client logs.
Now even though I telnetted under linux, there's no reason it wouldn't work under Windows because this is just a communication protocol we are implementing independent of the operating system. Ofcourse it could be that in Windows the macaddress is p@$$ed on before all the other information is p@$$ed, or maybe it's just not shown in the logs. Check out this portion of my log:-

November 26, 2004 14 24 37 DUMMYIP
See the parameter DUMMYIP. Maybe the macaddress is dummy too lol, dunno.

My logfile in windows lists the MAC address correctly, see this -

Now the very first line refers to InitXML, which in the registry holds the value http://202.144.65.70:8090/ whereas my SAM server IP is 202.144.58.38
:/

Ujjwal looks like it showed your MAC address correctly lol. It seems to work for some and doesn't work for others.The registry entry InitXML refers to the IP address of the SAM Control Server from which the Sify client gets the various URLs like the login URL, logout url, and the most important detail, the session id. It's the very first IP address that the Sify client connects to when we start it, even before we enter our username and p@$$word and press the Submit button. After we press the Submit button the second server that is contacted is the SAM Authentication Server where we are authenticated and logged on

its not their busy servers but the heart beat "feature" which logs you out. just call up customer care and tell them to disable this feature for your account and viola, you have 24/7 internet , unless the connectivity itself starts acting up.
