Hi Thomas.
(1) How do we retrieve the MAC address for any or all NIC on a PC?
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/Ho...in_Network.asp - for all NIC
on a PC and Network
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/x...us,vs.80).aspx -Supported in
Framework 2.0 [ MSDN2 - for VS 2005 beta]
(2) And do we make sure that it is correct?
Through Network command...
Run > cmd > type ipconfig/all [ this you can use it for checking or
verification]
(3) How do we make it work, even if disconnected from a network?
I tried and checked its not working....i mean i disabled my LAN and tried
IPCONFIG /All - so no idea about this more
Reply me if you want anything specifically in MAC.

We currently use a method for retrieving a MAC address in which we use
the "SendARP" method from the "iphlpapi.dll" library.
As we have understod it, this method is actually deprecated, and
unstable. So the question is:
How do we retrieve the MAC address for any or all NIC on a PC?
And do we make sure that it is correct?
How do we make it work, even if disconnected from a network?
If there isn't a NIC available, there is of course no MAC address, but
any modern computer has a NIC as default, so we're not worried about
not having a NIC available.
We are currently using C# 1.1, but will switch to 2.0 when released.
TYI
