>>>>Sorry but I don't want for netware and that is not physical id. I mean the unique 8 bytes id of card. I can have it in netware via novell calls (16 bit). My problem is to do the same in VFP and netbeui,nwlink ipx/spx. VFP no more supports load binfile, call binfile.

>>>I believe you can query the registry to get the NIC ID, probably somewhere under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\Network; sorry I can't be more specific, but I'm just back home after unscheduled surgery, and don't have full access to a machine on my network or one of my development machines here at home with my registry reference stuff on it. Looks like no DevCon for me this year...
>>Yes but I can't find it in registry. If you find pls inform me. Secondly this would only have local card address ? I also want to collect others online when I login with admin rights. It was possible in FP 2.x and novell, should be in win* + NETBEUI.

>The registry entry under {HKLM}\Enum\Network would only contain entries for physical NICs on the local machine. Under NT, it should be possible to use an API call to construct a list of valid physical network IDs available under at least TCP/IP (look at the WNet and NetWksta families of calls; if you have the MSDN Help system, the details are there, but I'm not getting out of bed to mount a CD to look up the details right now...)
