Rotor, Mono and .NET: Bridging the Gap on 3 Fronts - Academia,
Enthusiasts, and Business

In late 2001, with the approval of Microsoft's Common Language
Infrastructure specification by the ECMA, came a whole new possibility
for .NET. Not only were the underlying aspects of .NET fully
standardized, but one of its key languages, C#, was accepted as a
standard too! The promise of .NET became even more enormous! Third
parties could take this 523 page CLI specification and 498 page C#
specification and implement the inner workings of .NET on their own.
What the community saw nearly immediately was a dedicated interest to
have .NET working on other operating systems, namely several Linux
distributions. The goal of the Mono Project was to re-implement .NET
to its fullest so that Linux developers can finally be able to
interact with their Windows counterparts more easily. Further along,
Microsoft released a beta version (now final release) of the Rotor
Project. This was a "shared source" implementation of .NET for the
academic and enthusiast communities that runs on FreeBSD, Windows XP,
and even Mac OS X!

Oops..I meant Media Access Control address

Sorry, my mistake...I should have said MAC address......Well.....Got any suggestions now???

MAC, Short for Media Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network.

Exactly.... :)

Any way I found this good article
http://www.codeguru.com/network/GetMAC.html

Someone has given the C# code as well
http://www.codeguru.com/mfc/comments/49119.shtml

But it uses the Unsafe code.........

Im looking for a pure C# way to get the address.

i think the C# code will look preety much same on all platforms since only .NET CLR layer is changed.
