You have several ways under *nix
ifconfig -a | grep HWwill output something like
eth0 Lien encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:FF:74:FF:B4combined with Runtime.getRuntime().exec("")and Process.getInputStream()you should be able to read it easilly.
Under Windows (and Linux of course) try jpcap (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jpcap)
You can also use jnative as a generic tool (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jnative)

Isn't possible to get MAC address using java

I am trying to get the MAC address of my pc using java code. It seems that i am only able to get the ip address. Can anyone help?

Use JNI or Runtime.exec(). For the latter you would need to find an OS command line tool and then parse the output.

define "launch".

How to get MAC address list and HDD serial number from Windows and MAC machine?

Hi,
I'm developing a AIR application. I'm implementing the product key mechanishm. I need to identify the users' machines uniquely. I chose MAC address would be a better way. But a computer has list of MAC addresses including LAN card and Wi-Fi card addresses. So, I need to get the list of available MAC addresses from the computer and the Hard Disk Drive's serial number. HDD serial number would be helpful to cross verify the identity.
I'm able to get the MAC address using NetworkInfo class. But I need to get a list of available MAC addresses and HDD serial number.
Is there any classess to accomplish this task?
Thanks in advance.

See if this link can be of a little use to you.

How to get MAC Address of a stolen laptop by using Serial number?

Hi my Lenovo G560 laptop was stolen on 17/04/13. I have the serial number. In order to trace the laptop, I need the MAC address. Unfortunately I don't know the MAC address of my stolen laptop. My question is, is it possible to get the MAC address by using serial number?
Serial Number: xxxxxxxxxx
Moderator Note; s/n edited for member's own protection

hi Subrahmanya,
Sorry to hear about your trouble. Unfortunately, the only way to get the MAC address is to run a query on the unit (physically or or remotely). Using the serial number to query information on the system will list the devices that are included on the unit (this doesn't include the MAC address).

Hold down option and select System Information from the Apple menu.
Select Network, then the particular service type: Airport, Ethernet, Firewire
Scroll down till you see MAC Address:
You can also reveal it in the Terminal with ifconfig. en0 is usually ethernet, en1 is Airport, but that depends on your configuration.

How to get Mac Address of Remote Computer

Hi All,
I tried to find out a solution for finding Mac Address of a remote system, then first i tried with finding it with local address using the following code it works fine for me.
public class MacAddressFinder {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try
               InetAddress ipAddr = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
               System.out.println("Current IP address : " + ipAddr.getHostAddress());
               NetworkInterface nwIntf;
               try
                    nwIntf = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(ipAddr);
                    byte[] hwAddr = nwIntf.getHardwareAddress();
                    System.out.print("Current MAC address : ");
                    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                    for (int i = 0; i < hwAddr.length; i++)
                         sb.append(String.format("%02X%s", hwAddr, (i < hwAddr.length - 1) ? "-" : ""));
                    System.out.println(sb);
               } catch (SocketException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
          catch (UnknownHostException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
But when i tried this piece of code in jsp with the following code i am getting NeworkInterface object value as null and there by i am unable to get the Mac Address of a remote computer.
InetAddress ipAddr = InetAddress.getByName(request.getRemoteAddr());
NetworkInterface nwIntf = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(ipAddr);Can you please suggest me how to find out the Mac address of remote system?
Thanks,
Uday

first of all, NetworkInterface only exposes the NetworkInterfaces of the local computer. secondly, you cannot find the mac address of an arbitrary remote computer. that information is not available outside of the local subnet. and java doesn't expose a way to discover it even for computers on the local subnet.

How to get repository connection in java code

Hi!
I have a method in server-side java code. This is get a repository connection from Weblogic pool.
private DataSource getDataSource() throws WavesetException {
DataStore ds = Server.getServer().getRepository().getPrimaryDataStore();
DataSource dataSource = null;
if (ds instanceof RelationalDataStore) {
dataSource = ((RelationalDataStore)ds).getDataSource();
return dataSource;
I would like same this, but in the client side. After connection (SessionFactory.getSession...) I get a RemoteSession object.
How can I get a database (repository) connection?
Thanks,
Attila

com.waveset.util.Util.setWavesetHome("D:\\Tomcat 5.0\\webapps\\idm"); // if you are running this java code out side idm app
Session session = SessionFactory.getSession("configurator", new EncryptedData("configurator"));
LighthouseContext lh = session;
WSUser user = (WSUser) lh.getObject(Type.USER, "Testuser");
OR use below code
System.setProperty("waveset.home","D:\\Tomcat 5.0\\webapps\\idm");
// here we find the path
LighthouseContext lighthouseContext = new com.waveset.server.InternalSession();
WSUser user = (WSUser) lighthouseContext.getObject(Type.USER, "Testuser");

How to get mac address?

I have used NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces() for get list of interfaces
but under xp I not read interface informations.
Is possible that the problem is permission level of user?
Thanks.

Some call in Java are OS dependent and work better on some OS than other. If there is a permissions issue it is at the OS level and Java would not be aware of it. (But I doubt this is the case)
It is possible that information is not available under windows.
However you can call "ipconfig /all" and parse the MAC address from that.

How to get MAC address from client machine ?

Hi dear,
We are implementing security measures for a banking system, so it is required that we track the MAC address of the registered clients along with other parameters. How do we get the MAC address from client machine using ADF or running scripts in client side?
thanks all

Hi,
Welcome to OTN.
Your question has nothing to do with ADF as such. Googling would give you plenty of such topics.
