Hi Dario It is really quite easy: 1 open a command prompt by doing any of the following 1.1 press and hold the start/windows key and type R 1.2 click start - "Run..." both will open a small window where you type cmd and press enter 1.3 if all else fails you can go to start - all programs - accessories - command prompt
at the command prompt type ipconfig /all and press enter you will get a long list of output where one entry will read wireless network adaptor with a sub-entry physical address or hardware address it will be hexadecimal in format a0:b1:c2:d3:e4:f5 or perhaps a0-b1-c2-d3-e4-f5 this is what you need, give it to the hotel people and you will be all set good luck ecke 2010/6/21 Dario Bonazza <[email protected]>: > This is very OT, but since we have IT folks over here, I'm trying to ask. > When trying to book an hotel in Germany, I asked for internet connection > availability in their rooms.
