Open System Preferences and click on the Network icon. Ethernet will probably be listed in the left hand pane, if not click the + button at the bottom and add Ethernet from the options in the Interface drop down menu.

Select Ethernet in the left hand pane. If it is not working click the Advanced... button and then the Ethernet tab on the right. Select Automatically from the Configure drop down menu.

If it is still not working you will need to manually enter the settings required for the network you are joining.

How do you get Mac address?

You don't "Get" one, because you already have one. A MAC Address uniquely identifies your computer's network interface card on the network. If you're asking how do you know what your MAC address is:Windows:Start>Run>type "cmd"in the black window that appears type "ipconfig /all"the MAC address will be listed as "Physical Address" and usually starts with 00-In Mac OS X 10.5 and later, in the left column of the Network preference window that opens, click the name of your connection (e.g., AirPort, Ethernet, Built-in Ethernet). Click the Advanced... button, and in the sheet that drops down, click either the Ethernet or AirPort tab. The string of letters and numbers next to "Ethernet ID:" or "AirPort ID:" is your MAC address.In Mac OS X 10.3 or 10.4, in the Network preference window that opens, make sure the pull-down menu next to "Show:" lists your connection (e.g., AirPort, Built-in Ethernet). Under the Ethernet or AirPort tab, the string of letters and numbers next to "Ethernet ID:" or "AirPort ID" is your MAC address.Alternatively, you could use "ifconfig -a"Linux:Open a shell, use "ifconfig -a". This will display your current network settings for each interface available on your computer.An example of what a MAC address would look like:00-FF-20-58-C9-60*NOTE* all devices that access the internet have a MAC address (iPhone, PS3, PSP, Switches, Firewalls, Routers, cable modems, cell phones, etc)Wikipedia:In computer networking, a Media Access Control address(MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to most network adapters or network interface cards (NICs) by the manufacturer for identification, and used in the Media Access Control protocol sub-layer. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number. It may also be known as an Ethernet Hardware Address (EHA), hardware address, adapter address, or physical address.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_address

What is a private MAC address?

A MAC address is unique to your ethernet card. MAC addresses are used within an Ethernet network to uniquely identify the source and destination of Ethernet frames. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used on IP networks to map IP addresses to MAC addresses within an Ethernet network.


Can a Mac only use airport?

Of course not! A Mac can connect to the internet using Ethernet, wireless connections (which Airport cards are for), and 3G USB receivers that phone companies make. (17" Macbook Pros can use wireless cards (which go in the device) that are also created by phone companies.)


Find Mac address for apple computer?

Two simple ways: 1. Using System Preferences: * Open System Preferences * Click "Network" * Select the interface from the list (e.g. "Ethernet" or "AirPort") * Click "Advanced" * Look through the tabs; one will contain the mac address. (If you're looking for the Ethernet interface, it will be under the "Ethernet" tab; if you're looking for Airport, the address is under the "AirPort" tab) 2. Using Terminal: * Open Terminal * Type "ifconfig" (without the quotes) and hit enter * Look through the list until you see the correct interface. The mac address wil be in that section (it will say something like "ether 00:11:22:aa:bb:cc") * Alternatively, you can enter "ifconfig <interface>" to only view that interface. Ethernet is usually en0 and AirPort usually en1 (but not always). For example, type "ifconfig en1" to view the AirPort's configuration.

Can there be more than one Ethernet adaptors that have the same Ethernet MAC address?

One computer must have unique MAC addresses for each Ethernet adapter (ideally each Ethernet adapter in existence has a unique MAC address but there are some that allow manual setting of the MAC, so duplicates can exist.) If you have not changed anything from the factory settings then each network card will have a unique address!


How do you use wired internet on your ipod touch?
