For example, a network identification creation tool may be incorporated into a billing component of a larger application, so that usage charges for the application can be associated with the network rather than with an individual computer. With these embodiments, one or more computers within the network will host an instantiation of the network identifier creation tool. In order to create a unique identifier for the network, the tool identifies each network adapter used by the host computer. Using this information, the tool identifies a gateway device used by the network adapter or adapters, which typically will be a router. The tool then determines a value uniquely associated with the gateway device, such a
