How to find IP address of ethernet card

Hi every body

I want to find the IP address of a Ethernet card.
Not the IP address what the Os gives the card but the IP address
that will be permanently given to the card.Also called the Physical IP address of the card.
I have done this in C++ but donot Know how to do it in VB

ehhrrrmm... you surley mean the MAC - Address of the network adapter, or ?

Yes I do mean the mac address of the card.
Is there a way to find it thru VB?

[moogle_cat]

sure, do it the cpp way. delcare the winsock functions in vb and use them

Start 'c:\windows\Winipcfg.exe' and you find the IP of your cart but it is not in vb!

[waheedrafiq]

yes you can you need to use API function search under MAC

The MAC Address of most modern network adapters is not fixed, but comes with a manufacturer default that users can change. They can change this to any legal value they want as long as they don't duplicate values on the same network segment.
