The mac address is the PHYSICAL address of your network card. Each network card is manufactured with a unique address which distinguishes it from every other network card in the world. If you're using Windows XP, open a command prompt and type:
ipconfig /all
About half way down you'll see
"physical address . . . . . . . . xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx"
That's your mac address. If you were to look at your network card, that's also the physical address that would be on the label.
