    MAC Address Question

    If I am surfing a website or posting to a website, can that website (server etc.) see the MAC address that I am using?

    not normally, unless you have some sort of script/plugin/software on your computer that is sending that information

            Yes - based on your IP

              Only thing I could think about is geolocation but after some research even this is not possible.

              Maybe Big Brother Google can help you.

                For a LAN-network I can understand that this program can get your MAC-address by IP.
                But a website on a server over the internet ?

                  Ahhh - I take back what I said Don't know what I am thinking this morning.

                  misterhhs is correct - You can not get MAC address if you are not on the same LAN

                  There is no way to get your MAC address over the internet

                      A MAC-address stays the same for the whole lifetime of this device. Even a refrigerator that can contact automatically the manufacturer when their is a failure has a MAC-address.

                        Correct although it is possible to spoof a MAC address if required.
                        .

                          Physical MAC addresses are permanent by design, however there are ways to spoof your MAC address to make it look different.

                            even better - you need no Mac for a MACadress
