How Can I Get the MAC Address Of A Network Card ?

Maybe there is an ActiveX control which will supply such info ?

nbtstat -a name-of-machine

1) Windows-specific questions should be asked in the windows programming area.
2a) CoCreateGuid()
2b) UuidCreate()

Last bytes of the pointed to value are the MAC address (if there is a NIC, that is...)

Sorry, I should have made the question a bit clearer ...

What I am looking for is a function that I can call from within a C program that will return such info.

An ActiveX control would be even easier ... if one existed ?

Thanks again

oops, missed that we're in C topic, sorry.
So if all fails, you may use somthing like (just out of memory:)

popen(pipe "nbtstat -a name-of-machine|");
while (fscanf(pipe,"%s")!=eof) {
  /* parse input */
}
close(pipe);

That works great !  Thanks !

Is there is an alternative library in Borland C ?

Huh?

The libraries 'rpcrt4.lib' and 'ole32.lib' appear to be part of Visual C++. This isn't a problem as we can compile as a separate DLL, however, it would be nice to include this into our standard Security Libraries (which are compiled using Borland C)

I tried using the libraries supplied with Visual C in Borland C, but it is having none of it !

I thaught there may be 'equivalent' libraries in BC ?

This is somewhat of a new area to me, so please excuse me if I'm missing something simple !!!

Thanks again,

James

Those libraries implement the functions CoCreateGuid() and UuidCreate().
I don't know what is the Borland counterpart.

Found it !
Borland C contains a library called 'ole2w32.lib'
The function is in there.

Thanks for all the help,

James
