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.

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)

Get mac address in a container or zone non-global

I am developing an aplication in c/c++ and in global machine I can get mac address, but in zone non-global don't.
I have to get the mac address in zone non-global? If so, how?
Thanks

You can probably run 'arp -a' in the zone and look for your zone's hostname. That's pretty close.

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.

Get MAC Address...

How get MAC Address of a computer using SQL Query....help me....

Hello Sukanta,
I concur with SBH above. I do not believe that there is a way in SQL or PL/SQL to get the MAC address.
Also, in multihomed computers, there would be as many MAC addresses as there are NICs present. Therefore, if MAC addresses where to be obtained, they would likely have to come up from a table (and a MAC address table surely does not exist in Oracle.)
If you are looking for some sort of unique identifier, you may be able to create one using some combination of DBID, SYSDATE and a randomly generated number.
HTH,
John.

"failed to get MAC address for machine"

here is the jist of things.
installed leopard and have it pimped out to my personal specs. I like where everything is and how things are working. No issues. just so you know, i only use WIFI for internet, i share with the guys upstairs. In order to get wifi on my machine, i use a USB dongle. works great no issues with it ever, well until i physically broke it. No big deal. So i replaced it with another one, different drivers/chipset worked.. And since i installed leopard i only backed it up once with TM, i dont care for daily/hrly backups, weekly is fine for me. Now after 2 weeks and a new usb network card. TM gives me an error. i click on the little red i and it says "the backup volume could not be found" so googled and searched the forums not much help, so i tried and formated my ext drive repaired and click on TM again, same error. In the error log in console, right after i turn on TM i get this error, "failed to get MAC address for machine" then 180 secs later, TM fails. again, and again.
Can anyone tell me where i can find what MAC address its looking for??? ethernet has never been plugged in to my machine ever. its only been online via USB wifi. Im really lost here, i dont know what i can do.. im sure if i try another drive ill get the same error. please help if you can.. much appriciated.
Jamie

yeah i get a 'failed to get mac address' message too. what's weird is that it seems that leopard 'broke' my ethernet (there was no mac address, couldn't connect to the internet through ethernet after a clean install), and then 10.5.2 'fixed' it. for some reason, i have an 'ethernet 2' heading in system preferences that works correctly and has a mac address and everything, while the regular 'ethernet' tab doesn't work at all. however, i still get this time machine error. i don't understand why time machine is so incredibly fickle. sorry, i'm really of no help to anyone, other than adding another voice to the frustration.

Get mac address in container or zone

I am developing an aplication in c/c++ and in global machine I can get mac address, but in zone non-global don't.
I have to get the mac address in zone non-global? If so, how?
Thanks

Are the mechanisms the same to extract the mac address from the zone as it would be on the global zone?
What I mean is, programaticaly, would the same code that extracts the mac address of an interface from the global zone work within a non-global zone, or does the zone need to have priviledges set for this to be allowed?

WRT54GL V 1.1 : how to reserve IP for specific MAC address using DHCP

My !free! made in China router have this functionality. And yet I have been banging my head with this new reasonably expensive wireless router from Linksys. Anyway I lug my notebook around. I need my home router to be able to automatically configure notebook IP address using DHCP. At the same time I need the ip given by home router through DHCP to be the same IP all the time. So "static" ip is not the solution. Alternative "static" ip is also not a solution. Anything with the word "static" in it is not a solution. I know about third party firmware (wrt or tomato) and I know WRT54GL can be flashed with this third party firware. But I'm not going to void my warranty. This will be my last option but not the solution that I seek. I would like to know how to reserve ip for specific mac address using DHCP for WRT54GL V1.1. If this version have no way to make such configuration, I would like to know if there is official firmware upgrade that address this. Thanks in advance!

How can i get system variable using java

Hi,
I just want to know how can i get system variables using java code.

Thanks alot

Hi,
I just want to know how can i get system variables
using java code.
for example i want to get the the date for today or i
want to get the number of processes that's running.
Thanks alotSome generic "system variables" are available though Java, usually through the System class.
Date today = new Date();
is instantiated with the current date and time.
Other system values, like environment values, should be passed to java through the command line (-D option) by setting system properties.
Finally, platform specific values like the number of processes running will have to be written in platform specific code and executed by JNI (java native interface).
Java is platform or system agnostic. Common system values, like time, are implemented. Hopefully you won't need platform specific values.

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).
Regards,
neokenchi

Get MAC-address of IP Phone using CallManager Express

Good evening,
at the moment I am developing some XML-services for Cisco IP Phones. Now I want to personalize some pages and to make that reality I need the MAC-address of the IP Phone to verify the user.
After a lot of research I found out how to do it with CallManager (use #DEVICENAME# in the url), but I didn't found out how to do it with CallManager Express. I have tried the solution for CCM in CCME, but that didn't work out. So, my question is: How can I get the MAC-address of an IP Phone with CallManager Express?
Greetings.

you only have to use #DEVICENAME# when you are using a CallManager IP phone service. Under CME, simply set your services URL and the phone will automatically append the ?name=SEPXXXXXXXXXXXX parameter for you. If you configure your services URL on CME as http://10.1.1.1/MyApp the request will be http://10.1.1.1/MyApp?name=SEPXXXXXXXXXXXX
(where SEPXXXXXXXXXXXX is the device name of the phone making the request)

Getting Mac Address of Windows 7 Machine

Hi all,
Our application used to gather the Mac address of the client machine. For this purpose, i was using the Java bean(ClientInfos.fmb) to get the information. It used to work fine until
the OS was Windows XP. As soon as the Windows 7 has come, the application/java bean could not collect the mac address.
Pls let me know if there is any working for this problem.
Even if there is any other alternative, I would love to adopt.
One of the solution, I was thinking that to run a client_host command using webutil, write the output in a notepad. Get the mac address from the notepad.
If it is possible, give me some clue,so that i can fight it down.
Thanks & Regards,
Alok Dubey

There are likely several ways to accomplish this. You will need a custom java bean or webutil. WebUtil does not have a built-in function that can do what you want, but it will give you access to the system and/or registry. The problem with which you are faced is that some machines may have more than one net adapter and therefore more than one mac. Anyway.... you can use the CLIENT_HOST command to execute this Windows command:
GETMAC*
You can also execute GETMAC /NH+ and the data will be displayed without the column headers. If you write this info to a temp text file on the client, you can then read it with CLIENT_TEXT_IO. Use the pl/sql substr function to exact whatever part of the info you want to use.
More info about the above command can be found on the MS website here:
