I use QDCRDEVD to get the IP address of a connected device.

Is there a way to also retrieve the MAC address?

At best you will only be able to get the MAC addresses of devices on the local network. When a tcp/ip packet passes through a 'router', the router replaces the incoming MAC address with it's own when it sends the pack on to its next destination. I know that doesn't answer your question, but wanted to make sure you knew how MACs were handled.
