Please follow the instruction below to find the MAC address of your
game console.
Nintendo DS
To obtain the MAC Address from a Nintendo DS, you must first insert
a Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection compatible game and access the WFC Setup Utility.
Please note that the exact steps to access the setup utility varies by
game. However, the setup utility is a standard menu, included with all
WFC-compatible games.
After accessing the utility, tap "Options," then "System
Information."
The MAC Address and Nintendo WFC ID will be listed on the screen. Unless
the game player has successfully connected with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection,
the WFC ID will be blank.
PlayStation2
To find the MAC address of your Sony PlayStation 2 you will need the
Network Adaptor connected to the PS2 and you will need the disc that came
with the Network Adaptor. Then follow these steps:
-
Power up the PlayStation 2 and load the Network Adaptor Startup Disc.
-
Once it has loaded, select "ISP Setup" and press X on your controller.
-
The ISP Setup will begin to load, and you will be presented with a license agreement.
Select Agree and press X to continue.
-
For connection type, choose "Local Area Network (LAN)" and press X
to continue.
-
Select "Automatic Configuration" and press X to continue.
-
At the connection test screen, select "Advanced" and press X to continue.
-
At the "Advanced Broadband Settings" screen, make sure "Automatic" is
selected. While you are at this screen, make note of the MAC address at the bottom.
Some of the PS2 games also have the ability to list your
MAC address, but the above steps are the C&IT Help Desk's preferred
way of finding the MAC.
PSP
To find the MAC address of your PlayStation Portable (PSP):
-
Navigate to "System Settings";
-
Then navigate to "System
Information," which is where the MAC address is listed.
XBox
To find the MAC address of your PlayStation Portable (PSP):
-
Turn on your Xbox console with no game disc in the disc tray.
-
From the Xbox Dashboard, choose Xbox Live.
These steps assume you cannot connect to Xbox Live until you finish configuring
your Xbox console to use your PC's MAC address. Therefore, you should receive
the following message: "Could not connect to Xbox Live. Do you want to troubleshoot
your network connection?".
-
From the Connect Status screen, select Settings. The 12-digit number at the bottom-right
corner of the Network Settings screens is the MAC address of your Xbox console.
Do not change your Xbox console MAC address, just write it down and call us.
XBox 360
To locate the MAC address of your Xbox 360 console:
-
Go to the System area of the Xbox Dashboard and select Network Settings.
-
Select Edit Settings.
-
From Additional Settings, select Advanced Settings.
-
At the bottom of this screen you'll see a heading called Wired MAC Address.
