Hi Goh,
If the web application is public to internet users since most clients are
from different network spaces... so the IP address IIS get dosn't reflect
the actual network address of the client. Also, since for internet client ,
when ARP broadcast need to rely on internet routers, if sometimes the
broadcast message is not router correctly, there may exists problem on
this. Anyway, I'd suggest you try posting in some windows platform
newsgroup on using ARP program.....
Thanks,

| The method that I use is using process to run windows arp.exe program
| with -a arguments. this arp.exe file will list out all the client that
| connected to server. I use the IP address that return to from HTTP can
match
| with the arp output.
|
| ARP program return IP address and MAC address of each client that
| connected to the pc. nbtstat.exe is another program that similar with arp.
|
| I think it must be some reason for some pc that I can't get the MAC
| address in ASP.Net. As I know router or DHCP are also using MAC in the
| mapping table for unique identify each device that is connected.
|
| any comment on this issue.
