-
Determine your wireless
LAN card's unique Media Access Control (MAC) Address, which is a
twelve character string composed of the numbers 0 to 9 and the
letters A to F:
-
Inspect the exterior of
your wireless LAN card and look for markings that say something like
"MAC Address", "Physical Address", or just plain "MAC".
-
If no such markings are printed, plug in your
wireless LAN card into your mobile computing device and switch on.
For those devices with Windows OS:
-
Click on the
Windows Start button on the lower left corner of the
screen.
The Start Menu will pop up. Select Run. The Run
window will open.
-
Double-click on the
input field next to Open: then type command and click on OK
.
-
A Command Prompt
window will open. Type ipconfig /all.
-
In the resulting
output, look for the section with the description of your
wireless LAN card and note the line that says "Physical
Address". This is your card's MAC address.
-
If the above procedure does not apply
to your mobile computing device, please consult your operating
system's manual.

lab computer on campus, open the following web page:
