In this code snippet, you will learn how to get an IP Address, computer name, and MAC address in a Windows OS environment using Java.

We are going to use the namespaces below in order for this program to execute and run.

import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.NetworkInterface;

Java Program to Get IP address, computer name, and MAC address

package mp;

import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.NetworkInterface;
import java.net.SocketException;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {

      InetAddress inetAddress = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
      String hostName = inetAddress.getHostName(); //Get Host Name
      String macAddress = "";
      String ipAddress = inetAddress.getHostAddress(); // Get IP Address

      //Get MAC Address
      NetworkInterface network = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(inetAddress);
      byte[] macArray = network.getHardwareAddress();
      StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();
      // Convert the macArray to String
      for (int i = 0; i < macArray.length; i++) {
        str.append(String.format("%02X%s", macArray[i], (i < macArray.length - 1) ? " ": ""));

        macAddress = str.toString();

      }
      System.out.println("Host Name: " + hostName);
      System.out.println("IP Address: " + ipAddress);
      System.out.println("MAC Address: " + macAddress);

    }
    catch(SocketException e) {
      System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    } catch(UnknownHostException e) {

      e.printStackTrace();
    }

  }
}

Output

Host Name: CPCOM1929718
IP Address: 192.168.11.158
MAC Address: 81 F1 D3 A3 B6 36
