Re: [NTLK] Where to get MAC address?

I was a little late to the thread....

Like many have said, check your routers log to see the attempt to connect.
Or find a PC buddy and have them try it...

It must be a left/right brain thing....... Oh, and absolutely love the new
Mac commercials - how hilarious!!!

Something else. Mac OS X

I ran ifconfig on my Mac (as a long time user, I don't have any problem
knowing where anything is : ) Like you, I have to look around forever on a
PC) Trouble is, since I don't have a driver for that card on my Mac (there
never has been one, to my knowledge) it isn't recognized.

And 3com did not put the MAC address on the bottom of this card *sigh*

I'll figure it out, but it would be a whole lot easier if they had bothered
to put the address on the card. The 3com accountants probably struck down
the idea. Guess a thousandth of a gram of ink really adds up after a while!

What I think I'll do is reinstall Virtual PC for the Mac and try the dos
prompt/iconfig all trick you mentioned.
