Windows XP system to find the MAC address problem

  
Q: I used Windows 98, which provides a tool called Winipcfg.exe, which can easily check the IP network details, I can not find after upgrading to Windows XP This system tool. The cable modem I installed (Cabel Modem) requires the user to provide the MAC address of the network card. How can I solve the problem of finding the MAC address in the Windows XP operating system?
A: You can find the MAC address of the network card in Windows XP by the following method.
Method 1: On the system desktop, use the mouse to select “ start → all programs → attachments & rarr; system tools & rarr; system information & rdquo;, then choose to enter & ldquo; component & rar; network & rarr; adapter & rdquo;, From there you can find the MAC address of the network card.
Method 2: Windows XP has a tool Ipconfig.exe that is similar to Winipcfg.exe in Windows 98. You can select “Start →Run" on the system desktop, type cmd in the "open" column in the subsequent interface and press Enter to execute the command, then in the command line window that appears. After typing the Ipconfig /all with the blinking cursor and pressing the Enter key, you can also see the MAC address (the item showing the MAC address here is called “Physical Address”). Use Ipconfig's /Release and /Renew options to release or reassign IP addresses.
