I don't know if there is a custom tag that will do this but, you could use
CFEXECUTE with either 'nbtstat' or, if you have the NT Resource Kit,
'getmac'. 'nbtstat' returns a lot more information than just the MAC, which
means you'd have to parse the information, but 'getmac' returns only the
MAC(s) given the IP address, NetBios name, or host name. You could
optionally create a COM wrapper for it. Of course, Java, VB, and probably
WSH, have the capability to do this too, I just don't have code on hand.

Subject: mac address
Anyone know of a way to grab a client machines mac address? Am looking for
a way to do it with Cold Fusion, scripting, ActiveX, or Java. Any tips or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Wanting to use the mac address
for security verification.
