Yes. If you have recently bought new laptop, you've got 2 network adaptors so you have also 2 MAC addresses (one for each network adaptor). One is defenetly 10/100/1000 Mbit adaptor and the second is probably the wireless adaptor to WIFI network

Every network adaptor should have a MAC address. If your system has wireless and wired connections, you will have a MAC for each. Open a DOS box and type
ipconfig /all
and you will see what you've got and what it's called. "Logical" network adaptors (such as VPN services) can have MACs all of their own even though they don't actually exist physically and rely on one of the physical ports to do anything.

Your MAC deal with turns into an situation for switching, not routing. MAC addressing is layer2 (DataLink), routing is layer 3(community). Im guessing what you advise through ISP makes use of mac addressing is because they do MAC filtering to target to characteristic layers of safe practices to their on the spot community. you could spoof the MAC deal with and characteristic 2 with a similar, even with the undeniable fact that it would not be a good concept if both were attempting to speak interior of the same time body in view that ARP selection will be really unpredicatable to you. you're in a position to ensure connection sharing on one pc and characteristic the different connect ad hoc, couldn't extremely grant you with surely walkthrough information for this even with the undeniable fact that as I have in no way tried it. per chance in case you gave some extra element about your setup like OS used may help to create a answer. probably least difficult answer will be to get a 2d MAC deal with allowed or placed a router into the equation.

You'll have as many MACs as you do network cards. Wireless, wired, if you dock in a docking station, it will have another MAC. If you throw in a PCMCIA card, there's another one!

One for each NIC. Most will have 2 these days -- one for the built-in wireless NIC and one for the wired one.
