HOW TO FIND THE MAC ADDRESS OF MY COMPUTER?

Lots of people are asking me lately “How to find my MAC address?”, so here it is — pretty simple.

Before we move to the step-by-step instructions I would like to add some theory.

According to Wikipedia MAC address is:-

In computer networking, a Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to most network adapters or network interface cards (NICs) by the manufacturer for identification, and used in the Media Access Control protocol sub-layer. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer’s registered identification number. It may also be known as an Ethernet Hardware Address (EHA), hardware address, adapter address, or physical address.

Step 1/ Windows

Go to Start Menu > Run. That will open a small new window. Type the following in the console and you will see another window with black background:-

cmd

Step 2/ Windows

In the last window you need to type the following:

ipconfig /all

Аnd here it is. It is called Physical Address and is in the following format (both numbers and letters):-

XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX 

For Linux it works the same. In the console you need to type:-

ifconfig

And you are ready.
