AW: [Winpcap-users] Getting MAC Address

[Troy Pierce]

1. Capture a packet and copy the mac-adress from ethernet header ^^
2. download the winpcap developers pack
   Examples-Remote/PacketDriver/GetMacAdress ;)
3. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/118623/en-us
4. google: GetMacAdress

You will find many ways to get the mac-adress

hope it helps :)
