above information last modified 7/3/07
To register your
own wireless, we need the "MAC address"--aka "Physical
Address"--of your wireless network adapter. If it's a laptop,
you can bring it to the Computer Lab and we can figure out the
MAC address for you, or on any Windows computer you can follow
these steps:
- Depending on what version of Windows, try:
- Windows XP etc.: Click the Start button and click “Run”
- Windows Vista: Click the button that "would have been
Start if they had given it a name", then the cursor will
appear in the space on the line above it.
- Type “cmd” (without the quotes) and tap <Enter>
This should open a DOS window, aka command prompt window.
- Type “ipconfig /all” (without the quotes)--there is a
space between the g and the / --and tap <Enter>
- Read through the headings on the sections and find the
one that says Wireless in the heading. The “Physical
Address” under the Wireless LAN section is six pairs of
number/letters, separated by hyphens, like 00‑00‑2D‑2E‑64‑CA
or some such. Be sure you get the one for WIRELESS, if your
computer has a regular Ethernet and a wireless. You may have
to scroll up to see it--in Vista you are almost sure to have
to scroll up.
- On a MAC, the number you need (same appearance as above)
is called the Airport Address. To find it, click the apple
in the upper left, come down and click "System Properties".
Click the "Network" icon a bit below the center. Click the
"Configure" button, and look for the Airport address.
