Appendix F:Finding the MAC
Address and IPAddress for Your
Network Adapter
This section describes how to find the MAC address for your network adapter
to do either MAC Filtering or MAC Address Cloning for your Router and ISP.
You can also find the IP address of your computer’s network adapter. The IP
address is used for Filtering, Forwarding, and DMZ. Follow the steps in this
appendix to find the MAC address or IP address for your adapter in Windows
95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, and XP. Windows 95, 98, and ME have two different
ways of obtaining the MAC address; both will be explained.
For Windows 95, 98, and ME:
1. Click on Start and Run. In the Open field, enter winipcfg. Then press the
Enter key or the OK button.
2. When the IP Configuration window appears, select the network adapter
you are using to connect to the Router via a CAT 5 network cable.
