From time to time you need to get your nic’s mac address, maybe you need to setup a router or maybe you need to clone that mac to another nic. Whenever that happens there are tons of crappy programs out there that are meant to annoy you, i don’t know about you but they sure annoy me. So here is what you need to do to get the mac address under windows, this method works for Windows Xp and Windows 2003 Server, i don’t know about other versions because i didn’t have the chance to test them:

You need to go to Start > Run and type “cmd” without the quotes, now hit enter (this will open up a command prompt, you can also do this by pressing WindowsLogo + R and typing “cmd“)

Now in the command prompt window you need to type “ipconfig/all” (i noticed it also works with a space after ipconfig like this “ipconfig /all“)

and there you have it some basic information about your installed NIC’s (ethernet cards). Under the Physical Address sections of each ethernet card you can find it’s MAC address.
