    MAC of remote system

    Get MAC of remote system by typing IP address in text box and clicking
    Get MAC. (Using API's only)

    Also included in the code is a function called CheckMac.
    I noticed that often the leading 0 is left out of one of the sections. CheckMac checks the MAC and if needed adds the leading 0.

    (Just remember that an ARP request is used to get the MAC address of the remote system, ARP requests do NOT pass through routers, so this only works for machines on the local subnet). Still a handy tool that can be integrated into your application. The uses are endless for network apps (eg: you can use it for a MAC filterting option in your app instead of just filtering by IP).

    Please leave a comment if you find this useful.

    Thanks,
    Dave
