M A C code what is my MAC code number?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if you mean MAC address
if you mean it so its ;
Short for Media Access Control address,
its usually a unique address identifies each node (ex : network card ,Modem , printer etc..) on the network
if you use windows XP you can get it as follows :
Click start then Run then type the command
ipconfig /all in the command prompt window

you should see some thing like this

There is two things this could be:

1. Each network device has an identification number that is unuque to it called a mac this is typically somethung like 21:a2:bc:34:34:df. It is used to identify the connection and typically you don't need to worry about it. If you want to know what it is do run > cmd and type ipconfig /all it is listed as physical address.

2. A MAC code is a code that you can get from your broadband suplier that allows you to transfer your service to another company. You get our ISP to generate this for you and give it to our new company, it is valid for 30 days, can only be used once and transfers your service in 7 days without any break in service. You just need to change log in details after change goes through. Typically this looks like BBIP2348232/FF34A usually starts BBIP but can start LL with different numbers for each one

A MAC code number or MAC address, is the code number that was assigned to any hardware that you connect to your computer, it is unique to a specific object, i.e, a modem, a computer, a wireless device a printer, what ever , it is used normally by your network to identify the hardware that you have and to allow you to accept or not in the case of some else trying to use your network,it usually looks like this 00-DO-41-69-D6-17 , a series of numbers and letters, this is the MAC address of a PCMCIA wireless WiFi card for a lap top,

MAC stands for Media Access Control. The MAC number is the built in "serial number" of your network interface card - it should be something like 00-60-97-11-CF-7F. ISTR that the first 2 or 3 pairs identify the manufacturer.
