You need to use WMI to use this.

Hope this helps you.
Thanks

Hi,
Check this one out:

-- Code Start --
Dim mc As ManagementClass = New
ManagementClass("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")
Dim moc As ManagementObjectCollection = mc.GetInstances()
For Each mo As ManagementObject in moc
If (CType(mo("IPEnabled"), Boolean)) Then Console.WriteLine
(mo("MacAddress").ToString())
Next
moc.Dispose()
mc.Dispose()
-- Code End --
