Hi,

I need an utility to get the MAC address. I know it is VERY easy to do this in Windows 95/98/NT/2000, but I need it in DOS!

Please help me. Send me an EMail when you have an idea!

Regards,
Tom.

if it is a 3cm card, use ftp.3com.com/pub/nic/crdfind.exe and pipe the info to a file. the file contains the MAC

It is not a 3COM. It's an IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter with Wake-On-LAN. I tried the 3COM utility but it is not working.

Any other idea? Maybe someone can write a small program for it (or tell me who I can access a hardware address of a network card)?

All help is welcome.

Oh boy!!! Stupid. MSD from DOS is getting the MAC address. And you can even let it run and create a log file. Then just grep the MAC and that's it... a little programming work, but hey... it works for me :)

Most of the time when you buy a network adapter, you receive a floppy disk which contain the drivers for the different OS On this floppy you will also find a diagnostic/setup program. Use it and you get the MAC address of your network adapter
