I know that each network controller has a unique ID number programmed in to it that is used to generate GUID numbers. Does anyone know how to obtain the network controller ID number through
software? or better yet, a unique number that identifies a computer even if it doesn't have a network controller?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is the code how to get MAC address

Hi
Very good, but, If I want use the bios number serial of the mainboard, How I do it?
Thank you
