Hi,
 
It is not possible to know the Computer ID using LabVIEW. However you can find the Computer ID using the NI License Manager :
 
From NI License Manager (Start»Programs»National Instruments»NI License Manager), go to Options»Display Computer ID. The computer ID will be displayed.
Regards,

It sounds like you are wanting the MAC address. You can get this by using System Exec.vi to execute the command:
ipconfig /all
Then parse from the result the "physical address". Try the same command from the command prompt and you can see what comes back. One potentially important point. If you have a computer that has multiple ways of connecting to a network (like a laptop that can dial-in or use a hard-wire LAN) the same computer can have different MAC addresses depending on how you connect.
