You could try and use the glu32 Xtra http://www.ravware.com/glu32.htm to
access the Win api. I did a quick yahoo search and found this for Visual
Basic: http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/index.html?code/network/macaddress.htm
There is a glu32 xtra for the Mac as well, so It might be possible there as
well. I dont know if this will work, but it might be a worth a try.

Subject: <lingo-l> Ethernet HW Address? (xpost-ish)


Asked this on Direct-L yesterday but no one seemed to have the answer I 
was looking for.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a means (ideally with an Xtra, not 
something like AppleScript or VBScript) to find out the hardware 
address of a given system's ethernet card.

Bonus points for finding out things like CPU and HD serial numbers!

I know it's doable in theory; I'm just wondering if anyone's actually 
managed it in practice.

Thanks!
