How do I find my machine ID?
Posted by Victor Lee on 18 February 2014 03:02 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, go to the Start menu, then in the search box type "cmd" and hit Enter. 
    • In the cmd window, type "ipconfig /all". 
    • Find the line that reads "Physical Address".
  • On Mac, go to System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Ethernet.
    • The machine ID is listed under "Ethernet".
  • On Linux, open a terminal/shell window, type "ifconfig".
    • Look for "Hwaddr" under eth0.
