Use the operating system of your computer to find its
MAC address, as follows:
Windows: from the Start menu, find and select the
Control Panel. Double-click Network Connections
(Windows XP), or Network & Sharing Center (Win-
dows Vista or Windows 7). Then double-click either
"Wireless Network Connection" for a wireless connection,
or "Local Area Connection" for an Ethernet connection.
Next click the Details button (Windows Vista or Windows
7), or click the Support tab and then the Details button
(Windows XP). The "Physical Address" line shows the
MAC address.
MacOS X: open System Preferences and click the Net-
work icon. To find the Ethernet MAC address, select
Built-in Ethernet from the Show drop-down, then click
the Ethernet tab. The "Ethernet ID" field shows the MAC
address. To find the wireless MAC address, select Air-
port from the Show drop-down, then click the Airport
tab. The "Airport ID" field shows the MAC address.
Linux: open a shell window and type /sbin/ifconfig
(and press Enter). The wireless interface is eth1 (unless
there is no Ethernet adapter, in which case the interface
is eth0).
