MAC is an acronym as a Media Access Control. The MAC
address (also known as the physical address) is your computer's unique hardware
number. When you're connected to the Internet from your computer (or the
"host"), a correspondence table relates your IP address to your
computer's physical (MAC) address on the LAN. This is how the router knows
where to send IP packets destined for your system.
The process is almost identical to find out MAC
address in your systems. On a Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 & Windows 8 machine
you would use IPCONFIG. To see the MAC address, you need to add /ALL to the
command.
Option 1.
• Click on START, and then click on RUN
• The RUN dialogue box will appear. Type “CMD” and
press ENTER
• A DOS window will appear. This is also commonly
called a Command Prompt
• Type “ipconfig /all” at the command prompt and hit
ENTER. This window will now display the configuration of all of your network
adapters. If you have multiple network adapters in your PC you'll see multiple
addresses. Like Ethernet LAN/Wireless/Bluetooth. The MAC Address you're looking
for will be listed under the heading Ethernet Adapter LAN Network
Connection/Ethernet Adapter Wireless Network Connection
Option 2.
• Click on START, and then click on RUN
• The RUN dialogue box will appear. Type “CMD” and
