You can use snmp for this, but it is up to each manufacturer how (and where) they define it in the MIB. If it allows snmp put, you could change it, though (again, up to the manufacturer how they implement snmp, or if they even use it at all). Or, if you really want to be ambitious, you can get the MAC addresses and map them back to the manufacturer (I believe the first 3 octets are the manufacturer and the manufacturer gets to define the last 3 octets.) _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
