It sounds like you are wanting the MAC address. You can get this by using System Exec.vi to execute the command:
ipconfig /all
Then parse from the result the "physical address". Try the same command from the command prompt and you can see what comes back. One potentially important point. If you have a computer that has multiple ways of connecting to a network (like a laptop that can dial-in or use a hard-wire LAN) the same computer can have different MAC addresses depending on how you connect.

While Amkita's post does not retrieve information "programmatically", Mike Porter's post gives an elegant LabVIEW solution to get the MAC address, and it solves my requirement to ensure my application does not migrate perfectly. I love how the NI community has grown in the decades that I have been working with NI products!
