From console of machine, open dos prompt and run

ipconfig /all

That will give a screen full of info, including the physical address (the
MAC address) and IP address...

Hi,

do you need MAC address for Network License? If yes you need to run LMTOOLS
and check not MAC address, but Ethernet address.

In windows xp (i think it is standard) start a command prompt and type
GETMAC.

you can also get the tool from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/getmac-o.asp

more options if you type GETMAC/?
you have the options for remote systems, etc

hope this helps

In most cases I think you are better off using IPCONFIG /ALL. This is
because it tells you more about the MAC addresses it finds in your system.
This can be important in choosing the MAC address you use to obtain a
license against. If the MAC address is associated with a logical device
then the license will fail if the logic changes. If you have a choice,
choose a MAC address associated with a removable Ethernet adapter. This way
you can move the adapter to a new machine and reuse your license file in the
event of a system failure.
