Re: how to reliable get MAC address

Hi Goh,

I agree with Robertico's suggestion.
The MAC address will not pass through Router in internet.
In Web application, we use username/password to do authentication. And we
use cookie to save the effort to retype the information, but all this is
user specific, but not machine specific.

Also we can use a script to retrieve the MAC address and send to the web
server for identity via HTTP. But any machine if sent the same information
will pass the procedure.

For detailed information, I think you may try to consult the newsgroup
below for other solution.
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet
OR
microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general
