Appendix D:Finding the MAC
Address and IPAddress for Your
Ethernet Adapter
This section describes how to find the MAC address for your Ethernet adapter
to do either MAC address filtering or MAC address cloning for the Router and
ISP. You can also find the IP address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter. The
IP address is used for filtering, forwarding, and DMZ. Follow the steps in this
appendix to find the MAC address or IP address for your adapter in Windows
95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, and XP.
For Windows 95, 98, and Me:

Enter key or the OK button.

you are using to connect to the Router via a Category 5 Ethernet network
cable.
