What do you mean the wrong MAC address?  GetAdapterInfo() works fine on all 
our machines using XP (home, professional, SP1, SP2) and Win2003.  What does 
your code look like?  As I mentioned before, GetAdapterInfo() can be used to 
return information on many different adapters, you need to examine the Type 
value of the IP_ADAPTER_INFO structure.  Also, I have found that Windows 
does not always preserve the order in which your adapters appear in the 
list.
