You may use GETNETCARDID()

[NageswaraRao, G.]

Thanks Mr. Antonio.
But I am getting unlinked external "GetAdapetersInfo" referenced by function "NETCRDID"
I am using xHarbour with FWH.
Can you help me with this please?

NageswaraRao,

Are you using xHarbour commercial ?

[srrao]

Add IPHLPAPI.LIB from bcc55 into your script if your are using bcc

[NageswaraRao, G.]

I am using xharbour with bcc55. not the commercial version. i included the lib iphlpapi.lib as advised by srrao and now its working fine. thanks mr. antonio and mr. sanjay

[Antonio Linares]

NageswaraRao,

Yes, right, that library is needed. We already provided it included in samples\buildh.bat. I guess you are using an older version of buildh.bat.

Hi,

I'm getting a unresolved external __chkstk when I try to use this

[Antonio Linares]

Alex,

Try linking Borland cw32.lib

[AlexSchaft]

A borland library with commercial xharbour?

[Antonio Linares]

ops, my mistake

Then you should require it to xHB guys.

If I am not wrong, __chkstk stands for check stack, so you could safely create a dummy C function with such name

void _chkstk( void ) { }

[AlexSchaft]

If I add that dummy function, GetNetCardID kills my app.

Will ask on xhb newsgroup

Alex,

> Will ask on xhb newsgroup

Yes, its the right way

[Antonio Linares]

Alex,

Just out of curiosity, please try it this way:

BOOL _chkstk( void ) { return TRUE; }

[AlexSchaft]

No luck

Busy trying to get following code to work. It compiles. I just need to figure out how to return an array of adapter names and addresses

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include <iphlpapi.h>

// Fetches the MAC address and prints it
static void GetMACaddress(void)
{
  IP_ADAPTER_INFO AdapterInfo[16];       // Allocate information
                                         // for up to 16 NICs
  DWORD dwBufLen = sizeof(AdapterInfo);  // Save memory size of buffer

  DWORD dwStatus = GetAdaptersInfo(      // Call GetAdapterInfo
    AdapterInfo,                 // [out] buffer to receive data
    &dwBufLen);                  // [in] size of receive data buffer
//  assert(dwStatus == ERROR_SUCCESS);  // Verify return value is
                                      // valid, no buffer overflow

  PIP_ADAPTER_INFO pAdapterInfo = AdapterInfo; // Contains pointer to
                                               // current adapter info
  do {
//    PrintMACaddress(pAdapterInfo->Address); // Print MAC address

    pAdapterInfo = pAdapterInfo->Next;    // Progress through
                                          // linked list
  }
  while(pAdapterInfo);                    // Terminate if last adapter
}
