What driver are you using - packet, winsock ?

If you are using a packet driver, take a look at the WATTCP package
or the KA9Q package for DJGPP. Both of these get the ethernet address
as well as lots of other stuff. The packet driver specification would
be very useful as well. I can provide you with simpler code (no TCP/IP)
if that would help.

If you are talking about using Winsock, I don't know.
