Applet not able to access NetworkInterface.getHardwareAddress() api

I have a requirement wherein I want to read the mac address of client m/c using an applet.

But after some googling I found that applets run in a protect开发者_JAVA技巧ed sandbox mode and can't have access to NetworkInterface.getHardwareAddress() api. And because of that I am not getting mac address when applet runs in browser where as i get the mac address when applet runs from Eclipse.

Please let me know way so that applet can get access to NetworkInterface.getHardwareAddress() api.
