If we need signed applet for it to work as Pablo said then probably can somebody give us link with signed applet. Pablo do you have link to signed applet? You can upload your signed appled on rapidshare, megaupload, hotfile or similar and then share it with us.

Thanks

It works for me, you just need the applet signed for it to work.
if you are running netbeans: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1564833&page=6

Since Java released version 6 Update 22 applet does not works anymore and return empty string. I have tested on Vista, Win7 and XP and it is needed to update code to make it working.

Hello, I’m from Brazil and sorry for my bad
English. Well there’s some time I am using your applet the
MacAddressApplet, from which it started to have problems with
new version of the plugin java 6u22 version, which was up to version 6u21
operating normally. Looking at the note of this new version of the plugin,
identified that java has a change in security policy
regarding direct access to data of the local connection network
(Http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/6u22releasenotes-
176121.html). Do not know if you’ve encountered the problem where it has already
and can be very grateful if I can report the solution, since
I need very long feature in my application.

Tim, thanks for this code!
To prevent Vista or 7 from returning those empty or unwanted macs, I changed to this:

public static String macToString
(…)
if (macAddress.length() == 17) {;
return macAddress.toString();
}

Also, confirmed it works on Linux, Mac and 7.

macs[ 0 ]; Contain Windows XP mac address.
macs[ 1 ]; Contain the first mac of Vista and Seven.

You can try this:

if(macs[ 0 ])mac_string += macs[ 0 ];
if(macs[ 1 ])mac_string += macs[ 1 ];

Then filter or import only first 17 characters…
