The @IPADDRESSx has the ability to report the IP address of upto 3 NICs. The @ADDRESS only reports the MAC of the 1st NIC. We have a problem with all our Dell Latitudes laptops whereby the integrated (3Com) NIC binds two adaptors to NT. The first adaptor is MS Loopback Adaptor. The @IPADDRESS0 reports 10.0.0.1 everytime, which is OK because I can always use @IPADDRESS1,2. The problem is @ADDRESS has no similar feature (to reference a different NIC), therefore all the Dell's are reporting an identical MAC address 204C4F4F5020. Any thing I can do other than pipe IPCONFIG /ALL to a text file and parse through it?
