Re: Ethernet address

Posted by Lord Corani Dayanisi on 1999-06-17

What I'm doing is writing a program that reads the MAC address, looks it up in
a database and than changes the computername in the Win95 registry
accordingly. This is needed for a project that works with images..

Hmm, what are you doing exactly? It sounds like perhaps you are 
developing a driver? If so I would assume that you are using an 
NDIS base. Again, if so, I can't give you particiulars, but I know that 
there is a interface function in the NDIS driver that provides the 
card's address.

Hope this helps,

 I'm posting this again..
 
 I'm desperately searching for a method to find a Network Cards MAC (node)
 address without using any protocols like IPX or so. My program will be
 executed BEFORE any protocol is loaded, so it has to be protocol-less. If
 anyone has code laying around, please send it to sttd@xxxxxxxxxx.xx Thanx
 for the answers, but it'll need to work in Dos/Win95, so no linux
 please..
 
 Thanx..
