Identify hardware - The guided tour

Start > HW installed > HW type known > Network adapter


You should make use of the MAC ID to identify your network hardware. Every network adapter has its unique serial number, called MAC ID (MAC = Media Access Control). The MAC ID is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network. The first three bytes identify the organization that issued the identifier and which is most likely the manucafturer of the card. These three bytes are known as the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI).
A sample MAC ID would look like 00-20-35-C1-FC-94, and the corresponding OUI is 002035)

Proceed with identification by MAC ID (OUI)

You can detect the MAC address of your network with OS built-in tools:
Win32 computers (Windows 95 98 ME NT 2000 XP)
95 98 ME Start -> RUN -> "WINIPCFG"
NT 2000 XP Start -> RUN -> "CMD" -> "IPCONFIG /ALL"
NT Start -> RUN -> "WINMSD" -> Network -> Transports
ME Start -> RUN -> "COMMAND" -> "IPCONFIG /ALL"
Macintosh computers
MacOS Apple menu -> Control panel -> TCP/IP -> File -> "Get Info"
