Open a command prompt and type IPCONFIG /ALL and press enter. The physical address line is the MAC address.
However, you should enable encryption on your wireless router. Using MAC filtering is extremely easy to bypass and you could wind up being locked out of your wireless network entirely. Read your router's docs on how to set that up. WPA encryption is preferable to WEP. WEP can be cracked, WPA cannot.
