I too need to retrieve the MAC address client-side and programmatically, preferably using JS or Flash and we cannot rely on ActiveX b/c the user may not have it enabled. Also, the solution needs to work cross-platform, cross-OS and we cannot use digital signatures.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance, as I'm a newbie to this area of computers and it's urgent that I solve this problem asap. Thanks very much.

hi ...

welcome to TSDN ...

i think without ActiveX ... but you may search for a serverside solution ... may be that a google-search with 'mac address php' points you in the right direction?

kind regards
