MAC Address

Is there anyway to retrieve someone's MAC address that is connected to my
web site (windows 2k, IIS 5.0 or windows 2003, IIS 6.0)?


thanks.

There is no method of which I am aware. As a TCP packet moves through
a routed network, the source and destination IP addresses (at layer 3
of the networking stack) remain constant--this is expected. The
physical layer addresses (layer 2), however, change at every hop.
Therefore, the only MAC address you would get would be the MAC address
of the last hop.
