A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is what identifies your computer on a network. You should be able to find it within your network preferences or in a summary of the computers status.
Find the mac address of that computer.
The "MAC" address of your computer is built into the Ethernet board.
hi u can find the mac address of computer by ipconfig/all command in command prompt. Thanks

Each computer has a unique name, IP address and MAC address. (not MAC as in McIntosh.)
There's no really much harm in actually showing someone your MAC Address. All i make MAC Address is a 12 digital and letter code that identifies the network card. If someone had your MAC Address they could try and gain access to your network. But that's all. *edit* Yeah, like what the previous person said. If someone got your MAC address and IP address, when you turn on your computer they could try to MAC spoof their way into your network by making their computer looking like your computer.
ipconfig /all
for Windows Systems use IPCONFIG /ALL command to view Mac Address. for Linux Systems use IFCONFIG -A command to view Mac Address.
MAC address
Not sure what you are asking. You cannot fake your MAC address, it is assigned to your computer when it was being manufactured.
ARP (address resolution protocol) is used in this case. Basically, one computer asks, for example, "who has IP address 10.0.0.15" (the message is sent as a broadcast), and the computer with this IP address replies, including its MAC address.ARP (address resolution protocol) is used in this case.

A computer uses the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to find another machine's MAC address. When it needs to communicate with another device on the same local network, it sends out an ARP request, which is a broadcast message that asks, "Who has this IP address?" The device that owns that IP address responds with its MAC address. Once the requesting computer receives the MAC address, it can then send data directly to the intended device.
