We use the DNS name for reporting of our employees sales in relation to their call volume. Otherwise you may have multiple computers with the same null NIC - and that isn't helpful. Except in the case of a VPN NIC which sometimes reports at 00:00:00:00:00:00 those are just ignored. Some computers do have multiple NICs so those are broken up into separate records (it's just returned as a list) but the same DNS name is applied to them all. Then the DNS name could be referenced after using GET to find the NIC address. Since it doesn't seem that FM natively has this function built-in, even for version 17, I just made a table with the NIC address records created when the file opens (if it doesn't exist already) and then the DNS name was manually added later. ![]() ![]() I know this is an old post, but we've worked with the same thing for other reasons and maybe this will help someone.
