Hi Ramius

I have a similiar problem: I need to know the local IP / MAC adress of
the client from which the user logs on, as the configuration of some
applications is dependent on the HW configuration (peripherals). the
usual remote_addr thing does not work, as client in intranet or
internet (remote from home), webserver from where the application
runs is internet (1 client W98, all other XP, all IE).

In a lot of js forums / docs I found statements that I can get ip /
mac with js / activex, but no reasonable info on how to. (what
happens on a notebook with LAN/WLAN nic?)
can you help?
thanks trombone

I'd suggest you try one of the js or activex forums.

You can't do it with PHP. PHP is server-side only.
