Finding Your Hardware Address

Each network device (ethernet card) has a unique hardware "address" that identifies it on the network. You'll need to determine the hardware address for your Ethernet card to register your machine.

The hardware address, (sometimes called MAC address or ethernet address) is a 12-digit hexidecimal number (which means it can contain the letters A through F in addition to numerals) that uniquely identifies it. An example of a hardware address is 00E02938A48C. Often, the hardware address is shown on the card itself, but you can also determine the address from your Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000, Windows XP, or Macintosh.

Windows 95/98 Machines

Follow these steps to determine your Ethernet hardware address.

1. Click on the Start button, then select Run.
   
   
2. In the dialog box type winipcfg and press OK.
   
   If a message dialog box appears stating that winipcfg could not be found, you probably need to install the TCP/IP networking component which contains the winipcfg program.
   
   
3. If you also have a modem installed, make sure the pull-down list for the first item is set to your Ethernet Adapter and not PPP Adapter.
   
   
4. Write down the number that appears in the Adapter Address field. This 12 digit alpha/numberic combination is your Ethernet hardware address.
   
   

Windows NT/2000 Machines

1. Click on the Start button, then select Programs, then Accessories. folder.
   
   
2. Select the Command Prompt application.
   
   
3. At the MS DOS prompt type ipconfig/all and press Enter.
   
   If a message appears stating that IPConfig could not be found, you probably need to install the TCP/IP networking component, which contains the IPConfig program.
   
   
4. Write down the number that appears in the Physical Address field. This 12 digit alpha/numberic combination is your Ethernet hardware address.
   
   

Windows XP Machines

1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
2. At the MS DOS prompt type ipconfig /all and press Enter.
   If a message dialog box appears stating that ipconfig could not be found, you probably need to install the TCP/IP networking component, which contains the ipconfig program.
3. Write down the number that appears in the Physical Address field. This 12 digit alpha/numberic combination is your Ethernet hardware address.

Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.3 Machines

1. Select Apple > System Preferences.
2. Click the Network icon.
3. From the Show drop-down list, select Built-in Ethernet.
4. Select the Ethernet tab.
5. Write down the number that appears in the Physical Address field. This 12 digit alpha/numberic combination is your Ethernet hardware address.
