Answer 1

Dear friend first I request u pls be clear with ur question.
I hope u just want to know the mac address of a remote pc on the network.
For that u have to know at least ip address /computer name of remote pc.
Now start-Run-Cmd-enter
type ping computer name or
ping ipaddress of remote pc(Example ping 192.168.1.1)
You should get following result--


Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:


Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=128

Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=37ms TTL=255

Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=32ms TTL=255

Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=33ms TTL=255



Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

Minimum = 3ms, Maximum = 37ms, Average = 26ms
==============================
now type arp -a & press enter
You will get following


Interface: 192.168.1.2 --- 0x2
Internet Address Physical Address Type
192.168.1.1 00-08-5c-54-15-11 dynamic
The physical address is the MAC address of remote pc.
Hope U get it right

Answer 2

To determine the MAC address of a NIC, open a command prompt and type IPCONFIG /ALL and press Enter. The physical address line is the MAC address.

Using MAC filtering is NOT a good idea! Defeating MAC filtering is childs play if you know what you are doing (I do!) and someone can lock your machine out of the network.

You should enable encryption on your network. WPA is preferred over WEP but WEP is better than nothing. If your router doesn't support WPA, look for a firmware upgrade at the manufacturer's website. WEP can be cracked by an expert but WPA is not crackable. If you must use WEP, make sure it's 128-bit and change your passwords monthly. And NEVER use the pre-configured passwords. They are well-known and are easily guessed.

Answer 3

If you setup the broadband (pre-wireless) using your PC then the modem might have locked in your MAC as the only MAC allowed. The network is doing MAC filtering so everyone that goes out to the modem is seen as having the same MAC. Do you have access to the broadband router? If so, open a browser and put the ip of the router in the address bar. if you don't know it then go to the start>run> menu and type 'cmd'. This will open a command prompt. There type 'IPCONFIG /all'. Look for the gateway address. This will be the router's address. Once in the router look for a setting that allows you to change the MAC of the router. Put your MAC in there. Some even have a MAC cloning feature that will take your MAC and use it as its own. That feature makes life easy. If this doesn't work, edit you question with updates and we will try again.
