-
Click Start, then select Run, type winipcfg in the text box and click OK.
-
The IP Configuration window should pop up.
-
Click the drop down arrow and select your Ethernet Adaptor by clicking on it.
(Make sure it has "Ethernet" as part of the description (not PPP or AOL.

-
Run ipconfig /all (click Start, then Run, enter cmd, click OK or press Enter then type ipconfig /all)
-
In the "Ethernet Adaptor” section, look for the line that begins with “Physical
Address” and you will see the MAC address.
NOTE: Addresses starting with 44:45:53 are PPP-Adaptor addresses not the Network Adaptor address!

Macintosh OS X (10.1 & 10.2)
Top
|
-
Select System Preferences from the Apple Menu.
-
Open the Network control panel.
-
Select the ethernet card under Configure.
-
Select the TCP/IP tab. The MAC address is displayed beside Ethernet Address.
|

Macintosh or iMAC
Top
|
- Select Control Panel from the Apple Menu.
>
- Open the TCP/IP control panel.
- Select Info from the main control panel. The MAC address is displayed as the hardware address.
|
|
Macintosh with Open Transport
Top
|
- Open the TCP/IP control panel.
- Select Info from the main control panel. The MAC address is displayed as the hardware address.
|
|
Macintosh with MacTCP
Top
|
- Open the MacTCP control panel.
- Look for icon labeled Ethernet.
- Hold down the option key and click the Ethernet icon.
- A number will appear beneath the icon, this is your MAC address.

Sun Solaris
Top
|
- On SunOS and Solaris systems, the Ethernet device is typically called le0 or ie0.
- To find the MAC address, you must first become root, through the use of su.
- Then, type ifconfig -a and look up the relevant info.
For example:
# ifconfig -a
le0: flags=863 <UP,BROADCAST, NOTRAILERS, RUNNING>
inet 131.225.220.144 netmask ffffff00
broadcast 131.225.255.255
ether 8:0:20:f:c2:f8
Note: Solaris and SunOS strip off the leading 0 commonly included in the MAC address.
In this example, the MAC address is 08:00:20:0f:c2:f8

|
FreeBSD
Top
|
-
On a FreeBSD machine the command dmefg will display the MAC address.
|
|
Linux
Top
|
- On Linux systems, the Ethernet device is typically called eth0.
- In order to find the MAC address, you must first become root, through the use of su.
- Then, type ifconfig -a and look up the relevant info.
For example:
# ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:08:C4:99:AA
inet addr:131.225.84.67 Bcast:131.225.87.255 Mask:255.255.248.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500
Metric:1 RX packets:15647904 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:69559
errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 I
nterrupt:10 Base address:0x300
The MAC address is the HWaddr listed on the first line.
In this example, it is 00:60:08:C4:99:AA.

HP/UX
Top
|
- On HP systems, the Ethernet device is typically called lan0.
- To find the MAC address type lanscan and look up the relevant info.
For example:
$ lanscan
Hardware Station Dev Hardware Net-Interface NM Encapsulation Mjr
Path Address lu State NameUnit State ID Methods Num
2.0.2 0x08000935C99D 0 UP lan0 UP 4 ETHER 52
Note: HP systems remove the colons ( : ) from the MAC address.
In this example, the MAC address is 08:00:09:35:C9:9D.
