How I can obtain the MAC address of the customers pc.

Somebody has an example?

I'm using C#.NET 2003

You mean, Remotely? That would be very difficult. Otherwise one of the
easiest ways is to open a command prompt and type "ipconfig /all"

OK,
You could probably do it remotely using WMI assuming you had the requisite
Administrator privileges on the remote machine, but if you are attempting to
do this from a web page loaded into somebody's browser, forget it - browser
security restrictions prevent access to the client machine, filesystem, etc.

Why do you need to get a remote user's MAC Adress anyway? If it's for some
sort of identification or license validation, I'd recommend against it. It's
very easy to change the MAC address on your machine - there are a number of
freeware utilities for doing this. In other words, what's the end goal here?
Perhaps there is a workaround.

I need to validate the users to know in which sites they are. I had put that they can select the sites, and its been a problem, they always are making mistakes and I'm searching a way to make the decision by the application.

It is a C# asp.net application.

Other problem is that the sites connect to a internet and from there they connect to the application. These sites don't have an static ip address.
