Abstract. NIC is a computer hardware component designed to allow

computers to communicate over a computer network. It is both an OSI
layer 1 (physical layer) and layer 2 (data link layer) device, as it
provides physical access to a networking medium and provides a low-
level addressing system through the use of MAC addresses. It allows
users to connect to each other either by using cables or wirelessly. In
this project we describe how we can get the MAC and IP address of a
NIC, using Java as a programming language.

Resumen. La NIC es un componente de hardware informático diseñado

para permitir a las computadoras comunicarse a través de una red
informática. Es a la vez una capa de OSI 1 (capa física) y la capa 2
(capa de enlace de datos) del dispositivo, ya que proporciona acceso
físico a un soporte de red y proporciona un bajo nivel de sistema de
direccionamiento a través de la utilización de las direcciones MAC.
Permite a los usuarios conectarse entre sí, ya sea con cables o
inalámbrica. En este proyecto se describe la forma en que puede obtener
las direcciones MAC e IP de una tarjeta de red, utilizando Java como
lenguaje de programación.
 INTRODUCTION

This article talks about of how get the address MAC (Media Address
Control) and IP (Internet protocol) of a NIC with a graphic interface
made in Java.

The interface has 2 buttons where the user can chose the option likes
him and the program can get the address.

The program was made with the tools that the program’s language
brings

Also it describes what is address MAC and IP, for what use them, and
the important into a red, so how the formats that trey have.
