You can get the mac address by running ipconfig in a DOS prompt and parsing out the data.

//First run ipconfig

Process conf = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:/windows/ipconfig.exe /all");

// then parse out the response

DataInputStream ds = new DataInputStream(conf.getInputStream());

while ((String lineItem = ds.readLine()) != null) {

// look for index of "Physical Address" and you have it

}

There is a lot more information returned here as well you might find usefull.

This solution seems platform specific. Do you have a solution that is more portable?
