View Adapter Information using GetAdaptersInfo

Environment: VC6, Windows NT SP 4 or later, Win 98 SE or later

Some applications being installed on a computer need a way to retrieve the unique information that globally identify the computer. I created a function to do this. My method is based on the MAC address of the network adapter as the computer identifier. The GetAdaptersInfo API function is used to get information from the network adapter. You’ll need Microsoft Platform SDK to compile. Read MSDN to know how to install Platform SDK . The executable is included in the zip file.
