We use dedicated ethernet connections between machines, meaning a machine on
each end of a cable with no other connections.  The system I am writing (or
attempting to :-) a driver for will be connected to various machines, sometimes
"right off the assembly line".  Is there a way to obtain the remote's ethernet
address (vs. internet address; it's a low-level protocol) from software so the
user doesn't have to flip through a manual, eyeball a card or peek memory to
get it?

Reply via e-mail please, as I don't usually follow these groups.  Thanks!
