Identity using mac address

[simpocoder]

What is the process or function of acquiring a Mac address of a machine

[cjoki]

for a local machine you can use something like exec to run a system command and then you can capture and parse the results. remote machines...I do not think it is possible. To my memory (questionable at best ;) ) Internet communication does not use the mac address for broadcasting information, only in identifying hardware within a network. Again, I am no expert but I have seen this question before. Maybe asking a hardware driver developer for routers and NICs may provide better insight.
