address

A Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) or network adapter. It is used to identify a device on a network and is essential for communication between devices. In Windows XP, there are several ways to check the MAC address of a network adapter.

One way to check the MAC address is through the Command Prompt. To do this, open the Command Prompt by clicking Start, then Run, and typing “cmd” into the Open field. Once the Command Prompt is open, type “ipconfig /all” and press Enter. This will display a list of all the network adapters on the computer, along with their IP addresses and MAC addresses.
