Thanks, Marty, I'll certainly look into those 2 and see what's what. I've
noticed netsh.exe before on the Microsoft site, but not dhcpobjs.dll.

I'm not sure on the VB code, as we are in a secure enviroment and if I write
that out It'll need to be approved by the technical architecture guys (I'm
sys amin/tech support and I don't like the idea of them laughing at my code)
and any customer, and that'll take a few weeks :-0 and any minor versions
will need to be approved as well. And, no, they don't have time to write
out stuff themselves - even I'll agree they're hard working chaps.

VBScript is ideal, as I'm only needing a read only program, Type in the IP
address and extract the MAC address.

.....every little time saving second helps.

Cheers

James
