Hello,

i find that i can use this way to get the ip and host name:

hostInfo = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
ip = hostInfo.getHostAddress();
hostName = hostInfo.getHostName();

but still dont know how to get the MAC address.

Any help?

you can't get the MAC address. It's not exposed as you have no business using it.
The network is only concerned with ip addresses except at the hardware level which is deeper in the network architecture than what Java is designed to handle.
