I need a way to find my MAC address?
Some a-hole has hacked his way into my wireless network and I want to create a list of accepted only MAC Addresses to block anyone who isn't me out. How can I find my MAC address for this?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

It depends on the operating system.
For Mac OS X
1. Open 'System Preferences' and select Network.
2. Select a location
3. Select Interface
4. For wired connection, select Ethernet tab. The MAC address is next to Ethernet ID.
For wireless connection, select Airport tab. Next to the AirPort ID is the MAC address.
For Windows XP
1. Click on Start and select Run.
2. Type CMD then press Enter
3. Type ipconfig/all in the Command Prompt Windows.
4. The 12-digits characters next to the Physical address is your MAC address.
