MAC Address and IP Address
This section describes how to find the MAC address for your computer’s Ethernet adapter so
you can use the MAC address cloning feature of the Router. You can also find the IP address of
your computer’s Ethernet adapter. This IP address is used for the Router’s filtering, forwarding,
and/or DMZ features. Follow the steps in this appendix to find the adapter’s MAC or IP address
in Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP.
