Hi All
I want to find the ethernet address or modem address on IMac Poper PC G3 using the JNI (Java Native interface.). Can some one help me to find the ethernet address or any suggations.

Thanks
VN

curious, JNI is usually used to wrap native interfaces to things written in C, but you can simply get the host address in java doing:

try {
InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getLocalHost();

// Get IP Address
byte[] ipAddr = addr.getAddress();

// Get hostname
String hostname = addr.getHostName();
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
}

Hi
I want to get the ethernet address of the MAC to uniquely identify the IMAC, I don't want to get the localhost address.

my bad...
I would perhaps suggest a system call to ifconfig or netstat and parse the results.

Sorry to bother.

It's ugly, but here's some code that works:
