It appears I cannot get the MAC address for a wireless card on Vista unless it has a connection. I need to be able to get the MAC address for the wireless card before it has a connection. Can anyone suggest a way it is possible to do this? Thanks. |

In a command prompt... ipconfig /all That should show you MAC addresses of all adapters, connected or not. -- Chris M. Remove pants to email me. |

Also, at least for my wireless card, the MAC is printed on the card itself (D-Link AirPlus G) Michael "Chris M" <News@mckeownpants-online.com> wrote in message news:g6cvkt$1v3$1@aioe.org... > kapibarra wrote: >> It appears I cannot get the MAC address for a wireless card on Vista >> unless it has a connection.

Hmmm, it's working now, I wonder why it wouldn't list the MAC address for the wireless card before. Thanks guys! |
