Each network card/adaptor has a unique address called a MAC address, if you are using a network that has access control activated you will probably require the MAC address before you will be able to connect.
To find this in most versions of Windows:
Click the Start menu button on the Windows taskbar.
Click 'Run...' on this menu.
Type 'cmd' in the text box that appears. A command prompt window launches on the desktop.
In this command window, type 'ipconfig /all'. Details are shown for each of the computer's network adapters. Computers installed with VPN software or emulation software will possess one or more virtual adapters.
The 'IP Address' field states the current IP address for that network adapter.
The 'Physical Address' field states the MAC address for that adapter.
The MAC Address will be displayed in the format xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, but it is usually written as xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
