Is there a way to detect the mac adress of a web service caller?

I have several wince decices that change often ip, i want to detect them
using mac address.

Thanks
 
You can use ARP to get MAC from IP which you should have. Here's how:

Here's what ARP is:

Note: that would only work if device is on the same physical subnet as a
server.

If that's not the case, you'd need to use some other ID.
