Can LabVIEW acess the ethernet card MAC adress by any dll ?

I've seen other postings telling that it is possible to acess the MAC adress using IPCONFIG/all by DOS command and using system exec. I also saw that it is possible (under windows 2000) change this number under configuration. I tried and it really changes ! I was wondering if it is possbile to use any windows dll to acess this MAC Adress ?

Hi Gurdas,
I found a couple example programs that might help you out.
I have attached a GetMacAddress.vi that uses a CIN to make calls to Windows API to return the MAC address of the computer.
The second example Get_Remote_MAC_Address.vi will retrieve the MAC address of a remote computer on your local subnet. It uses calls to the System Exec VI which calls the Windows utilities "ping" and "arp" which return this information. It then parses the MAC address and returns it. Unfortunately the "arp" command does not properly return the MAC address when fed the IP address of the computer that runs it, so if you feed the VI the IP address of the computer that is executing the VI, it will attempt to use "ipconfig" to get the local computer's MAC address.
Note that because these commands are Windows-specific, these examples will work only with Windows operating systems.
Hope this helps. Best of luck!

  • Can i change the wifi card MAC address in windows 10 /configure/Advanced „Network Address" funktion works?

    Many users complained some wifi cards missing the
    /configure/Advanced „Network Address” funktion.Without this function
    does not work normal MAC adresses which begin for example
    „00”.There are many
    forums people write about (indignantly)
    the problem.

    I'm curious about the Windows 10 users
    experience with different
    wifi cards.
    This function working perfectly, all linux platform,Mac,already in android,the old windows XP,windows 2000,
    it's a basicthing.This problem affects some reason only are newer Windows platforms and directly the wifi option.

    well....it doesn't matter whether the MAC add is 00-14-BF-93-D2-66 or 00:14:BF:932:65 or any other format .. the most important thing is the hex decimal numbers are the same ... so not worry about it...

  • Can I replace the ethernet card on my Feb 2005 eMac?

    I realize that my Feb 2005 eMac (CRT-17") workhorse drops the internet (cable ethernet) very often- can run fine for 2 hours then drops the connection 3 times in 15 minutes.  IS IT POSSIBLE to repair this or get a new "ethernet" card without spending a small fortune (i.e. for less than $200 and hopefully a lot less…)??
    OR:  Add WiFi to this Mac, but that is not my first choice as it is the furthest away from my WiFi points (plus I have ethernet cable running directly to this eMac and it works great for other Macs when tested.  Just this eMac that is dropping the connection).
    Thanks and regards,

    It is definitely USB 2.0: (But 100 Base-T)--Mine is the 160 gb HD model
    Are you thinking / saying that USB2 should be faster than I'm showing?
    THANKS for any feedback and again, perhaps the hama-guy will reply tomorrow.

  • HT3986 i can only acess the internet on mac but when i switch over to windows 7 it does not read my wifi what will i need so that i can use internet on both?

    what is the answer to this?

    Well, the answer was to read the Boot Camp Documentation, but as you have passed that phase.
    Reboot into OSX, run Boot Camp and download the Windows Support Software: Reboot to Windows and install them.

    Can i expand the processor of mac pro w/ an acceleration card?

    Are you certain your work is compute-bound?
    Insufficient RAM memory or too much competition for too few drives causes a system to have unused processor power, but complete the work too slowly.

  • G5 Can't See Gigabit Ethernet Card

    Some months back, I installed a gigabit ethernet card into my G5. It worked fine for a few months, then stopped working with a message: The cable for PCI Ethernet Slot 3, Port 2 is not plugged in. I wasn't working on the project that required that connection, so I just let it go. Now I need to connect to a different gigabit switch. I installed a new D-Link card into the same slot as before - same result. I moved the D-Link card to a different slot - and got the same error - still referring to Slot 3. Just for kicks, I installed the old card back into slot 2 (the one above the video card). Same error - and no mention of finding two cards or of anything in the other slots. It seems as if somehow all of the PCI slots are being ignored.
    Running the System Profiler, I get a "No Information Found" for PCI Cards. None of the lights on either ethernet card come on. Any ideas? Everything else on the machine seems to be working correctly - the built-in ethernet is fine. There are a lot of drives connected to the system (4 on the FireWire 800, 1 on FW 400, 4 on USB). Is there some way to force a re-scan of the PCI bus? or turn it on?
    Thanks!!

    Thomas -
    Yes - I tried swapping slots. A gigabit card worked fine in slot 3 for several months. It stopped working - I figured it was the card that was th eproblem. I have since replaced the card, and then moved the new one to a different slot. The Network control panel still reports a card in slot 3, even though there is nothing in slot 3. The new card is in slot 4 (and just for kicks the old card is in slot 2). Neither of these is recognized by the the System Profiler or the network control panel.

  • Can I use the ethernet port ....

    Can I use the ethernet port on the ATV to connect my blue ray p[layer to the internet using the ATV as a wireless card??
    If so how??

    I might be next in line on the airport extreme! Right now wireless is working better since the latest upgrade to iTunes, but hardwire is the way to go. Only problem is that ISP connections is in my office and my Home Media is downstairs. I was thinking of setting the Airport Extreme as a repeater in order to access ISP and then used the ports in the back for iTunes and ATV.

  • How do I change the ethernet card in my emac desktop os-x?

    After getting a new modem installed, the desktop mac does not recognize the ethernet anymore (it worked fine before!). When I plug the ethernet cable into my laptop mac, the ethernet is recognized. The Century Link tech said this means the ethernet card in the desktop is bad, and that I need to purchase a new one and install it. Problem is, I know nothing about technical stuff for computers, and am wondering the exact steps I should take. Help!!

    The Century Link tech said this means the ethernet card in the desktop is bad, and that I need to purchase a new one and install it
    That's prima facie evidence that guy is clueless about Macs. They're have logic board ethernet since the Late Cretaceous.
    You could have a cable issue. With some modems, you need a "cross-over" cat5 cable if you connect the modem directly to the computer (in other words, you don't use a router between the modem and the computer. Not so common now but still could be an issue.
    Check System Profiler again. From the left-hand "Contents" column, select "Network." If "Ethernet" show up as in this screen shoot from a much newer Mac:
    then your ethernet hardware is fine and the problem reverts to Century link, their modem , or a cable problem.

  • Can you upgrade the wifi card and if you can how much will it cost

    thanks

    Why do people think they are postiing in a notebook forum when if you look around, this is clearly something else.
    If you really want a new Mac you have to buy one. That is part of the fun of owning laptops, they are not upgradeable.

    Can i send the application for mac as a gift to my friend?
    Thank you for your help.

    App store does not have this facility.    You could send an iTunes gift card but the cards are not internationally acceptable so it would have to be one for the country your friend lives in.  Read this document from Apple.

    I recently changed my operating system from Vista to XP and I am not able to find a the necessary driver for the ethernet controller in my Satellite Pro A100 PSAAPE.
    Does anyone know where I can get this driver from?
    Thanks!

    Hi!
    You can install the driver if go to device manager and select the Ethernet card. Right click on it and select update driver. Choose the advanced installation where you can choose the driver directory yourself.
    Then you can install the driver! :)

  • Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310 - HELP

    Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310.
     I had a battery drain problem. The unit would only last 16 hours before completely drained. Purchased a new battery with the same result. I figured that I should try a complete reset so I did a hard wipe. Once that was done and I loaded the unit back up and returned online, the battery drain problem was resolved but now I can not access the media card.
     Here are the messages:
     “A media card has been inserted that contains encrypted content which will be unaccessible by this device”
     I can see the files. I have transferred them to my PC via the SD card but I can not open them. Here are the settings:
     Media card support – ON
    Encryption Mode: - Security Password & Device
    Encrypt Media Files – YES
    Mass Storage Mode Support – OFF
     Please note – I can not change the encryption mode since it is set by policy
     Security Options – General Settings – Content Protection – Disabled
     The version of Desktop Manage I am using is 4.2.1.8. When I try to use the Media Manager to move the files, I get an error message and can’t move the file. If I access the file on the card and try to display it, I get:
     Unable to display file /media card/ pictures/ing000000xx.jpg.rem
     Here is what I have tried (from the advice on this board):
     1)     Read the files directly off the media card – No good
    2)     Create a “new” folder on the media card and move a file into it then try to read it – No good
    3)     Email the file then read it – No good
    4)     Reset Encryption mode to off then try – Can’t do it – IT Policy setting
    5)     Be sure that the password was set the same as before the wipe (setting is password & device) – Can’t do it – The Blackberry prevents me from using an old password.
     So I think I can’t read the files because I can’t replicate the encryption key. Could that be right? My problem is that I do not understand why this would be the case. It is still the same device and since it knows what the old password was (because it would prevent me from using it again), why would it not generate a key to access the files?
     All I am trying to get off the card are pictures on my 6 year old … some are priceless. Can someone help me do this? One would think that this should not be this hard but from all the postings I have found, it seems that it is. And yes, shame on me for not moving the files before I did the reset (THAT will never happen again!) but this being unrecoverable is unconscionable given how many seem to find themselves in this situation.
     Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Not sure why you couldn't see them using mass storage mode. Did you have the pics stored on your media card? Try going to media-menu-explore-media card-blackberry-pictures See what the extension is on your pics. If any have the extension such as .jpg.rem they are encrypted.
