You may need the MAC Address of your network card to connect to a network secured using MAC Address Filtering. Here’s how to find it using a command in Microsoft Windows.
Option 1
- Hold down the “Windows Key” and press “R“.
- Type “cmd“, then press “Enter“.
- Type “ipconfig /all” and press “Enter“.
The “Physical Address” is listed, that is the MAC Address of your network card
Option 2
Use this method to obtain the MAC Address of your local computer as well as query remotely by computer name or IP Address.
- Hold down the “Windows Key” and press “R“.
- Type “CMD“, then press “Enter“.
- You can use one of the following commands:
- GETMAC /s computername – Get MAC Address remotely by Computer Name
- GETMAC /s 192.168.1.1 – Get MAC Address by IP Address
- GETMAC /s localhost – Get local MAC Address
Each network card in your computer has its own MAC address. A typical modern will normally have an Ethernet card, a WiFi card and a Bluetooth card. Each one will have its own MAC address. That’s why you might see three different MAC addresses in the output of ‘getmac’.

Most routers and security appliances allow administrators to restrict access to a local area network via Media Access Control address filtering, or MAC authentication. This feature prevents unauthorized equipment from logging on to the network; if the MAC address of the device isn't allowed through the filter, the appliance blocks the device from the LAN. If you've connected the printer to your network but need to know its MAC address to perform administrative changes, you can find the address via the address resolution protocol. If you need to configure a security filter to allow the printer access, however, finding the MAC address might be a little more difficult.

arp -a
Step 4
