How to know MAC Address of PC or Laptop

How to know MAC Address of PC or Laptop

(a) The chances are very good that you'll never see the MAC address for any of your equipment because the software that helps your computer communicate with a network takes care of matching the MAC address to a logical address. The logical address is what the network uses to pass information along to your computer.


(b) If you'd like to see the MAC address and logical address used by the Internet Protocol (IP) for your Windows computer, you can run a small program that Microsoft provides. Go to the "Start" menu, click on "Run," and in the window that appears, type WINIPCFG (IPCONFIG for Windows 2000/XP). When the gray window appears, click on "More Info" and you'll get this sort of information.
