MAC code as in network hardware identification?

Look for the barcode sticker on the hardware. It should have the MAC code on it. Failing that, it's on the manual.

Answer 3

What is a MAC code?

MAC stands for Migration Authorisation Code. It's basically a 17 to 18 digit code that we need as your new broadband provider to swap your connection over. Mac Codes usually begin with "BBIP", "FTIP" "BBDS", or "BBDP" (e.g. BBIP 12344321/AB12C). If you come to us as a migrating customer with a MAC code in hand from your current provider, you will only lose service for a few hours and we will make sure this is kept to a minimum. If we haven't requested a MAC code from you yet, don't worry, we will contact you when one is needed with details on how to proceed. However, if you chose to disconnect first and then come over to TalkTalk you might be without your broadband connection for a few weeks.


How do I get a MAC code?

To get yours, simply contact your current broadband provider. Don't worry, it's standard procedure to ask for it and their customer services will know what they have to do. For your convenience, we have a list of contact details for all major broadband providers.

Answer 4

I use a laptop supplied by my company. It's on a sticker on the bottom of the PC (called LAN MAC Address, not code)

Not sure how to get it by using the system.
I've tried DOS :

$ipconfig/all

but that doesn't show it.

I think it's hardcoded - so check all the labels on your PC.

Whats "MAC" Code all about pls?

Answer 6

Lack of information? Would it hurt to include what operating system you are using? :)

windows xp
Go to the command prompt: start -> run -> type cmd -> hit ok

in the command prompt type get mac and hit enter. It will return your mac address.

Or you can type ipconfig /all which works in both windows xp or windows 98. but in windows 98 you have to type command in the run box to bring up command prompt.

Answer 7

I don't know precisely what you're looking for, but if you go to the apple at the top left of your screen, click on 'About this Mac' it will bring up a dialogue box. Click on 'more info' and it will bring up a lot of info about processors and other complicated things. I hope what you're looking for is there.
