Thanks for your reply Hilmar. Very educational.
When I use getenv() I get "000000000001" (12 digit character string (literal).
When I use the dll Sergey pointed me to I get "0004764a61ad"

The latter seems like the correct MAC address. I am still kind of confused where the first so called MAC address comes from.

Our file server is running Novell 3.12 (I told you it was old) and my work station is running W2K. Ohh and it is VFP7.0
