How do I find my machine ID?
Posted by Victor Lee on 12 February 2014 02:40 PM

Your machine ID is your Ethernet ID/MAC address: 6 pairs of numbers and letters A-F. You may see the pairs un-separated (d312a930bc7f), separated by colons (d3:12:a9:30:bc:7f) or separated by dashes (d3-12-a9-30-bc-7f).

  • On Windows, open a terminal window: go to Start > All Programs > Run (prior to Windows 7) > Cmd
    • Type ipconfig /all (note space before /all)
    • Find the line that reads physical address.
  • On Mac, go to:  System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Ethernet.
    • The machine ID is listed under "Ethernet."
