What do you mean by the NIC number?
Do you mean Mac address?
What code are you using to get the NIC number?

Take a look at Determining a Local MAC Address via NetBIOS on the VBnet Visual Basic Developers Resource Centre. The code listing worked both when I was connected to the network and when I wasn't.
