    Get MAC Address in C

    Hello,

    I'm trying to get the mac address from a client which runs the c program. I have found the code which returns the MAC address on Unix but I want to do it on Windows. If anyone could help I'll thank him.

    Thank you!

    Code:
    
    // get a host's mac address
    BOOL GetMacAddr(SOCKADDR Host, PBYTE Mac)
      { ULONG     smac = 6;           // size of mac address
        // get mac address
        if (SendARP(((PSOCKADDR_IN) &Host)->sin_addr.S_un.S_addr,0,
                                      (PULONG)Mac,&smac) == NO_ERROR)
          return 1;
        return 0; }
