please suggest a proper way to retieve the mac address thru
aglet2.0.2.......

If you are at Java 1.6 then you can use:

Enumeration e = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterface=

s();

while(e.hasMoreElements()) {
NetworkInterface ni = (NetworkInterface)e.ne=

xtElement();

System.out.println("Net interface: " + ni.getN=

ame());

byte[] mac = ni.getHardwareAddress();
if(mac != null) {

System.out.printf("%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X\n",mac[0],mac[1],mac[2],=

mac[3],mac[4],mac[5]);

}
}

is there another way and that too in jdk 1.4 ,apart from native
methods to retrieve the MAC address.....
