Broken Arrow Broken Arrow Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-09-24 Posts: 8 Loc: US	Hi, everyone, this is my first post. I'd like to thanks everyone in this forum, I have learned a lot from all your posts. Here is my question, why does @address and @IPaddress0 sometimes return a wrong value? Is there another way to get the Mac Address from the machine that does not fail? Again, thanks to everyone.

Single Nics in almost all cases, no virtual network in place or RAS connections. Sometimes I get a blank string from @address. In other cases I get IPs 1.0.0.1 when my network is a 172.27.x.x. Take a look at this: Ethernet adapter ZZPGPMacMP2: Description . . . . . . . . : RTL8139(A) Based NDIS 5.0 driver Physical Address. . . . . . : 00-10-B5-41-D6-34 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 172.27.21.213 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . : 255.255.252.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . : 172.27.20.10 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . : 172.27.20.102 Primary WINS Server . . . . : 172.27.xx.xx Secondary WINS Server . . . : 172.27.86.101 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . : Monday, September 23, 2002 6:29:47 PM Lease Expires . . . . . . . : Tuesday, October 08, 2002 6:29:47 PM Ethernet adapter ZZZPGPCfg3: Description . . . . . . . . : PGPnet Virtual Identity Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . : FF-FF-FF-00-00-00 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . : DHCP Server . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255 Why isn't @address getting the MAC from the active connection?

So, most likely @ADDRESS0 returns the values for adapter 'PGPnet Virtual Identity Adapter'. You should check @ADDRESS1 to it's value. I would not be surprised if it returns the value for 'RTL8139(A) Based NDIS 5.0 driver' _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Change the binding order of the adapters and restart the computer. Is the data more to your liking? _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Broken Arrow Broken Arrow Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-09-24 Posts: 8 Loc: US	I haven't. The guy who has the PC is out of town until tomorrow, and left his office under lock. I'l take a look at it tomorrow, whe he arrives. Thanks One more thing, from what I'm reading I have a little more to learn regarding this two macros. Could give me a little help on this. I still don't understand why if @address is returning the mac from the second card, @ipaddress0 is returning the ip for the first card.

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	I find that interesting as well. By providing complete information about the computer including the binding order and another "ipconfig /all", we may be able to piece together what is happening. If we can't and we have sufficient information, we could forward the question to Ruud. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Thus, KiXtart is actually returning correct results (IPADDRESS0 for adapter 0 which is not necessarily the NIC), just not in the order the user expects. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
