how to get mac address of client that browse web site by asp.net mvc c#

by

it’s unfortunately not possible to reliably get the mac address of the client machine due to firewalls, proxies and ISP generic addresses being given. However, you can make a stab at getting the ip address by using:

var remoteIpAddress = Request.UserHostAddress;

However, this may or may not actually represent the client machine and is more likely the ISP gateway or some other ip address. It’s a well known problem and one that even google have found hard to crack using clientside javascript (the idea here being that you get the actual local ip address via a js library and pass that over to your server function).

[edit] – might be worth taking a look at the following for inspiration/confirmation of the issue:
