3.8.1 Finding the MAC Address of a Computer

Use the specific 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 (Windows 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 Network 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 Airport 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).
