Computer Information

Good thing it's on a LAN because AFAIK you can't get the MAC addy over the Internet [although I'm still looking into how it would be possible to do it :)]. If you're good at code why not inspect the nmap soft at www.insecure.org and get ideas from there? You could use that program but I think it's a bit more than what you need and it wouldn't be the most effective thing.

On the other hand... since you said you need to extract the IP too, I'm wondering how you'd go about knowing which computer you want the info from? I guess you need a client/server type app with the clients running on the users' computers... and have them double click the prog name and that would send the info to your computer. Me not being a guru when it comes to XP scripting, I can only say... wouldn't something along the lines of

ipconfig/all > c:\info.txt [as said before]
net send IP info.txt

work? Or maybe

ipconfig/all | net send IP

but I'm not sure how [if?] piping works in XP. Also not sure about net send syntax, that's easy to find from the documentation you have on your computer.

if you can -- ping the ip address and then look in the arp tables of your computer and it should show the mac address

as far as the original question goes, just use angry IP scanner (available for free at www.downloads.com) and you can specify what to get (user-name, dns name, ip address, mac address) -- however, it works correctly ONLY in windows environments... i have had some problems with it when it is trying to collect info about a Mac or a Unix/Linux box

hope this helps :)

Can some one guide me on the codes/scripts to use to get the info?

Creat a file named whatever.bat or whatever.cmd
ipconfig /all > .\ipconfig.txt
start notepad .\ipconfig.txt
exit

You could also have it create the file in a shared folder and modify it so it doesn't pop notepad open. that you have access to from one centralised system, and have it run with the start up scripts, or on a schedule, or whatever. Adjust season to taste and cook until done.
