Finding the MAC Address of a Computer

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).
