Hi Nikhil It is not possible in JavaScript. you cannot get the MAC address in JavaScript mainly because the MAC address uniquely identifies the running computer and because of security reasons it is not. However the possible solution here would be write Java applet Sliverlight plugin and allow it full previlieges would help you to get work around. Hope this will help you out. Feel free to write if you need more information. Please don't forget to mark as answer if this helps.
