Not in this NG, classic ASP does not know what a "client machien",
or even what a "client" is.

Perhaps ask in a javascript NG, but under normal security settings of the
browser it is impossible.

The only cross-browser solution:
Put a text box on the page with the caption: Please enter your machine's MAC
address.

Most modern browsers will not let you access the users' machines. You can
provide IE users the option of running a Hypertext Application (.hta
extension) that runs under a different dll. Security is greatly decreased
with .hta pages so you may be able to access the machine's MAC address, I've
never done it so I cannot tell you how. Perhaps one of the guys over in
microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript will be able to help.
