Not sre if this is of any help, but we had a similar requirement - but to access both the IP address and MAC address of the client. We're running Glovia 4.6 on linux so we're very limited in what we can do.
We got round this by installing a product called SAMBA ( which enables Glovia to access a windows fiolder directly - and I believe that it's a free utility )
When the user logs into glovia, we call a custom written subroutine which calls a SYSTEM GUI command which pipes "ipconfig /all" into a text file named "TERM_ID".txt where the TERM_ID is the allocated @TERM from Glovia.
This file is written to the "shared SAMBA" folder. The same soubroutine then open up the text file using an ALIAS pointing to the newly created file and searches for the IP address & MAC address.
This was the only way we could think of of passing data from a client into Glovia.

Hi Ross,
thanks for the quick response, looks like I can't suppress the window due to the version we have (4.06) , however I've used an alternate solution that at least reduces the system call from 12 to 1 so a happy compromise - thanks again

Thanks Darren & Kevin,
I'll start investigating your suggestions & comments.

Best Regards

Nick
