Hello. Alex Vinokur wrote: > Is it possible to get MAC address within C/C++-program ? On which operating system? There is no method that will work on DOS and all versions of Windows. You can use RegDos to read the registry on Windows '95, '98 and ME. Then you can obtain the MAC address. See: http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/dl/winnetip.htm There are other methods, but they are for Windows programs. The Winsock Programmer's FAQ details how. You could write a small helper Windows program to return the MAC address. Then your program would run the helper program, to get the MAC address.
