How to get the Node ( aka MAC or Ethernet ) Address of the computer in VC++

Kathir Nadaraja #1 / 4	How to get the Node ( aka MAC or Ethernet ) Address of the computer in VC++ How can I find out the MAC(Ethernet Address) of the computer programatically under Windows NT 4.0 with VC++. The command line tool "ipconfig" dumps all the network configuration information including the MAC address. So I guess there must be an API call that should give the information. But I could not find any. Any help is much appericiated. Thanks, -Kathir.

sCaLLio #2 / 4	How to get the Node ( aka MAC or Ethernet ) Address of the computer in VC++ if NetBIOS can be assumed to be present, how about Netbios() call ? sCaLLioN Quote: > How can I find out the MAC(Ethernet Address) of the computer programatically > under Windows NT 4.0 with VC++.

Kathir Nadaraja #3 / 4	How to get the Node ( aka MAC or Ethernet ) Address of the computer in VC++ Unfortunately the client PC will not necessary have NetBIOS installed. Only protocol layer guranteed to be present would be the TCP/IP layer ( and the Winsock DLL).

sCaLLio #4 / 4	How to get the Node ( aka MAC or Ethernet ) Address of the computer in VC++ Call DeviceIoControl with IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS. look at the DDK sample called MACADDR.
