Windows Vista
Finding your MAC address in Vista is slightly different than in Windows XP. To find your MAC address in Vista:
- Click on the Windows button in the lower left hand corner.
- In the “start search” box type cmd
- In the command prompt, type ipconfig /all
- All your network adapters will be listed. Please find the one that describes your ethernet or wireless card in the Description field
- Once you have located the appropriate adapter, the Physical Address listed below the description is your MAC address.
Alternatively:
- Click on the Windows button in the lower left hand corner.
- Go to the Control Panel
- Click on Network and Internet
- Click on Network and Sharing Center
- Click on Manage Network Connections in the left hand pane.
- Identify your ethernet or wireless network adapter and double click on it.
- A window will pop up. Under Signal Quality click on Details.
- The Physical Address (or MAC address) will be listed in the resulting window.
