Re: [NTLK] Where to get MAC address?

Hmmm, Any good wireless router will tell you the mac address of any network card attempting to connect to it.
  All the wireless routers I have (2 Cisco and an SMC) have the ability to add any detected MAC addresses into the MAC filter list. In the case of my SMC, if MAC filtering is on, I go to the enter MAC address filter screen and the new MAC address is listed at the bottom with a button that allows me to add that MAC address to the list automatically.
  I've added all the MAC addresses this way (my list at home is about 7 now)
  If your Wireless router doesn't have this filter, it will surely have a logging feature that will show all MAC addresses attempting to gain access to your router. You should be able to copy and past this into your filter screen.
