on most linix and maybe just mac platforms just

cat /proc/net/arp

will show you the active hardware address


in windows you'll probably have to do all sorts of api hoop jumping to find it...

a simpler way might be to run

ipconfig /all

using the freeprocess mod and and parse the output
(I'd be tempted to do the same for linux too)

could a mac user tell me if you can
cat /proc/net/arp or some similar

they do have a command line on mac's dont they :o)
