Subject: Re: OT - Mac address?
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

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. Their reply:
"We have internet connection (wireless lan) in all rooms for free but
therefore you have to fill out a sheet of paper with your mac-address and
then we can activate you for using internet."
Since I don't have a Mac, I have no clue what a Mac address is. However,
I
suspect they mean a IP address. Even so, I believe my internet wireless
connection uses a dynamic IP and in case I have to setup a new connection
they have to assign me and let me know an IP address...
What would you expect to do with a Win XP laptop for getting such a
"mac-address" wireless connection?
Thanks a lot.
Dario
