VB

Imports System.Management
Public Function GetSerial() As String
        Dim mc As New ManagementClass("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")
        Dim mac As String = ""
        Dim moc As ManagementObjectCollection = mc.GetInstances

        For Each mo As ManagementObject In moc
            If mo.Item("IPEnabled") Then
                mac = mo.Item("MacAddress").ToString
            End If
        Next
 mac = mac.Replace(":", "-")
 Return mac

End Function
