Well, there's a tip about getting the MAC Address here:

Although it is designed for Ethernet, it could easily be adapted for
BlueTooth, I'd think.




This is from Ken's site slightly modified (windows portion) to look  
for the ethernet mac address.  On windows, the order in which config / 
all provides is based on which device is currently connected to the  
internet.


All you need to do is take out the references to Canela Software and  
put your company name in there.

Re: Getting MAC Addresses

2007-10-04 Thread Mark Smith
Dave, the shell commands 'ifconfig -a' on Mac and Linux, and  
'ipconfig /all' on windows should give you the hardware addresses of  
all the computer's network interfaces. I don't know how reliably this  
will show bluetooth interfaces...


Best,

Mark
