Determining WiFi MAC Address (Fig. 35)
If a printed WiFi MAC address for a PC cannot be found, it
can be determined as follows from the MS-DOS prompt in
the MS Windows running on that computer:
1. Start MS-DOS. In Windows 98, this is “Start” ... “Run” ,,,
[type in] “command” ... “OK”. In Windows Me, 2k and XP, this
is “Start” ... “Run” ... [type in] “cmd” ... OK.
2. List your installed interfaces, by typing “ipconfig /all” and
pressing “Enter.”
3. Find the MAC address associated with the interface
description that matches your wireless card description. In
this example, the phrase “802.11b PCMCIA” clearly identifies
the WiFi card among the listed interfaces.
