Title: Get Computer MAC Address
Question: How can you get the computers MAC address?
Answer:
The following code will allow you to retrieve the MAC address of your computer. It is a close translation of the C++ code found at the Borland Community at:
http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,26040,00.html
You must include the NB30 unit in your uses clause for this code to work.
Simply call the GetMACAddress routine for the address of the first network adapter installed.
uses
NB30;
function GetAdapterInfo(Lana: Char): String;
var
Adapter: TAdapterStatus;
NCB: TNCB;
begin
FillChar(NCB, SizeOf(NCB), 0);
NCB.ncb_command := Char(NCBRESET);
NCB.ncb_lana_num := Lana;
if Netbios(@NCB) Char(NRC_GOODRET) then
begin
Result := 'mac not found';
Exit;
end;
FillChar(NCB, SizeOf(NCB), 0);
NCB.ncb_command := Char(NCBASTAT);
NCB.ncb_lana_num := Lana;
NCB.ncb_callname := '*';
FillChar(Adapter, SizeOf(Adapter), 0);
NCB.ncb_buffer := @Adapter;
NCB.ncb_length := SizeOf(Adapter);
if Netbios(@NCB) Char(NRC_GOODRET) then
begin
Result := 'mac not found';
Exit;
end;
Result :=
IntToHex(Byte(Adapter.adapter_address[0]), 2) + '-' +
IntToHex(Byte(Adapter.adapter_address[1]), 2) + '-' +
IntToHex(Byte(Adapter.adapter_address[2]), 2) + '-' +
IntToHex(Byte(Adapter.adapter_address[3]), 2) + '-' +
IntToHex(Byte(Adapter.adapter_address[4]), 2) + '-' +
IntToHex(Byte(Adapter.adapter_address[5]), 2);
end;
function GetMACAddress: string;
var
AdapterList: TLanaEnum;
NCB: TNCB;
begin
FillChar(NCB, SizeOf(NCB), 0);
NCB.ncb_command := Char(NCBENUM);
NCB.ncb_buffer := @AdapterList;
NCB.ncb_length := SizeOf(AdapterList);
Netbios(@NCB);
if Byte(AdapterList.length) 0 then
Result := GetAdapterInfo(AdapterList.lana[0])
else
Result := 'mac not found';
end;
