Right, and the reason is because a router will change the MAC address of a network packet to its own address before forwarding it on to a different network. So I don't think it is possible to get the MAC address of computers not in your network. Just out of curiosity, what would you do with these MAC addresses anyways? -- Phillip Hellewell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
