How to get a MAC code for switching internets?

Question

I've been looking into joining Sky Broadband, but I'm currently with Orange. I need a MAC code apparently, how do I get this? Can I e-mail Orange and ask them to send it? I really don't want to ring, because there is never an English person on the end of the line and they never understand what I'm trying to do.

Answer 1

MAC Address == Physical Address

=

On your PC:

-

Click [Start] - Click [Run...] - enter: cmd, press [ENTER]

-

At the prompt (c:\.....>) enter: ipconfig /all, press [ENTER]

- Physical Address == MAC Address

-

Short for Media Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network

Answer 2

MAC address or Media Access Control address is a unique identifier on a network-enabled device. All smart phones, network cards, modems, routers, switches, and hubs have one. It can usually be found on a sticker on back or if the device is part of a computer the command ipconfig will show it under physical address. If you are dealing with a phone of some sort you can usually find it under settings. Hope that helps.

Answer 3

You'd need to phone them I'm afraid.



Edit: Just found this. Don't know if it will be of any use:
