You can use the GetAdaptersInfo() call to get the IP and MAC address of your
adapters.

Subject: [WinPcap-users] Winpcap not on promiscuous mode


Hi,

I am using the latest version (2.3) of winpcap (the low-level interface
using packet.dll) and for some reason it refuses to read packets unless I
put it into promisuous mode.  Its a 100 mbps switched network.  I have
tested it on both Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional with
the same results.

I wish to be able to simply read packets that are intended for me.  I can
certainly read all the packets that come through the interface and drop
those that are not for me, but that seems like a work-around.  Please help.

Secondly, I wonder why there is no interface in the low-level API for
finding out the NIC's hardware address.  We can certainly retrieve it
through alternate APIs or through SNMP, but I do feel that without a
function that returns the interface's hardware address the API is less than
complete(!)
