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?

Delete the M$ Loopback Adaptor?

You could try the folowing code:

code:
Break On
? 'MAC for NIC 1 = ' + GetMac(@IPAddress0)
? 'MAC for NIC 2 = ' + GetMac(@IPAddress1)
? 'MAC for NIC 3 = ' + GetMac(@IPAddress2)
? 'MAC for NIC 4 = ' + GetMac(@IPAddress3)
Get $x
 
Function GetMac($IpAdr)
	Dim $oWMI,$NICs,$NIC,$ChkIP
	$IpAdr = Join(Split($IpAdr),'')
	$oWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")
	$NICs = $oWMI.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=TRUE")
	For Each $NIC In $NICs
		For Each $ChkIP In $NIC.IPAddress
			If $ChkIP = $IpAdr
				$GetMac = Join(Split($NIC.MACAddress,':'),'')
			EndIf
		Next
	Next
EndFunction

I can't delete the M$ Loopback Adaptor from 50 laptops.

The WMIQuery looks really interesting except WMI is not on most of our NT workstations.

I guess what I'm looking for is an @ADDRESS0,1,2 function so that I can query for the MAC address of any NICs that are present. It'd be great to see this in a future KIX release.

Thanks all

Sorry rliang,

I didn't see NT part

It wouldn't even help to ask Ruud for a type 4 in EnumIPInfo()
Where type 4 should return the MAC-address because NT as the only OS dosn't support this function

So sadly you are back to parsing the output of IPCONFIG /ALL

Thanks for the info.

I've got a very strange problem, I can't redirect my IPCONFIG /ALL to a text file. I've tried

Code 1
$ipcfg="ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt"
shell $ipcfg
This results in a syntax error and the entire IPCONFIG usage syntax being displayed on the screen

Code 2
$io=RedirectOutput("C:\IPCONFIG.TXT")
$ipcfg="ipconfig /all"
shell $ipcfg
$io=RedirectOutput("")
This shows the results of IPCONFIG /all on my screen instead of in the IPCONFIG.TXT file. What am I doing wrong. I had similar results with the NT ResKit utility GETMAC.EXE

Help!?!

This of course, is covered in the FAQ
