I'am creating a LAN chat application. I already created the client and the server part of the application.

What I want to know is how can my server display the information of the host that are connected to it. For example if there are 5 clients that are connected to the server, I want the server to gather the information of each client like IP address or its MAC address? Can anyone there help with this problem?

I'm guessing you're not working with ASP.NET, in which case you could get at least the IP Address by using the Request object properties.

Some information can be found here:
