How to Find Mac Address Details for Your Computer

There are several reasons for wanting to find MAC address details for your computer,
but first just a quick word on what they are.

MAC address, short for Media Access Control, is a unique identifier
for each piece of hardware connected to a network such as the internet, including network interface cards,
VoIP phones, wireless cards and network adapters.

Each individual device is given a unique MAC address in the form of 12 digits,
each set of two divided by a colon.

The first set of six identifies the manufacturer of the device, the next set being the serial number that
the manufacturer assigns to uniquely identify the hardware.

The MAC address is necessary to allow data packets to be
transferred between hardware devises installed on a network, and it is an easy task to find that for your equipment.

MAC Address Finder

Find MAC address details for all of your hardware would be an onerous
task, but thankfully most people only need to
find that for their computer, both for security reasons and in order to
change it to render it compatible with a specific router.
Additionally, some internet service providers will request your MAC
address to ensure that only subscribers are using their system.
It can sometimes be found on a sticker on the computer itself, or for a
laptop, inside the battery compartment.
