I need to write an application capable of retrieve the MAC Address of all Machine's net-adapters on the same network.
To do this I have used the getMacAddress function of Jedi Library (JSysInfo unit).
This function works fine with all Windows machine but not works with linux machine.
After a long search on the net, i have found that Linux don't support NetBios, which is a prerogative of Windows systems.
I've also verified that is possible to retrieve MAC Address By SNMP Protocol, but the jedi functions seems to use this only for retrieve the local MAC.
Can I use this SNMP functions for the query of another machine on the network?
Thanks for Your Help...
