Finding Your Hardware Address
Each network device (Ethernet card) has a unique hardware address that identifies it on the network. NetReg can automatically determine your hardware address during the registration process in most cases, however in some cases you'll need to determine the hardware address for your Ethernet card to register your machine.
The hardware address, (sometimes called MAC address or Ethernet address) is a 12-digit hexidecimal number (which means it can contain the letters A through F in addition to numerals) that uniquely identifies it. An example of a hardware address is 00E02938A48C. Often, the hardware address is shown on the card itself, but you can also determine the address from your Windows XP or Macintosh machine using the steps below.
Windows XP Machines
- Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
- At the MS DOS prompt type ipconfig /all and press Enter.
If a message dialog box appears stating that ipconfig could not be found, you probably need to install the TCP/IP networking component, which contains the ipconfig program. - Write down the number that appears in the Physical Address field. This 12 digit alpha/numberic combination is your Ethernet hardware address.
Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.3 Machines
- Select Apple > System Preferences.
- Click the Network icon.
- From the Show drop-down list, select Built-in Ethernet.
- Select the Ethernet tab.
- Write down the number that appears in the Physical Address
field. This 12 digit alpha/numberic combination is your Ethernet
hardware address.
