You can fire up one yourself using
http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/network/macaddress.htmand
http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/network/macaddressremote.htm. The latter provides
for determining both the local MAC address and the MAC for a remote machine.
The first requires NetBIOS, the second uses SendArp. Either provides the
address for the first active MAC address found, so you may want to also
include http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/network/netbiosenumlana.htm to enumerate
the LANA numbers for machines with multiple cards, so you can adjust the
routines to retrieve the MAC for each card. Note however that for either to
work the card must be "on" - active. An inactive card does not expose its
MAC address.
