--- Comment #6 from David Griffith dgriffith@internode.on.net 2008-08-28 05:33:10 --- It appears that the class 76a64158-cb41-11d1-8b02-00600806d9b6 interfaces with windows' WMI layer (Windows Management Interface). Google the class ID and WMI for more info.
I suspect the app wants to find it's local (or public-internet) IP address for some reason. Why? I don't know. Why via WMI? I don't know that either. I'm just a guy looking to do his tax. :-p
But I do know that disabling the WMI service under XP causes exactly the same issue (failure of ID verification, and subsequent failure of prefill/tax lodgement), as I used a cut-down XP under virtualBox to do my tax this year when I couldn't submit my return under wine.
Basically, the verification stage needs to work to establish your bona-fides with the Tax Office, so they can issue you with a passkey for later submission of your return electronically. Testers should be able to get to the verification page (either at the lodgement stage at the end, or the prefill stage near the beginning) - it will ask for some personal details and some details from correspondence that the Tax Office has sent you previously. Obviously if you don't have those details you cannot continue, but the presence of a non-blank page with some fields to fill in is all you need to confirm operation.
