Nothing else has been able to answer my question, please help!

Hi,

I have a Power Mac G5 1.8 GHZ running on OSX 10.4.11. Someone in my household slows down the internet so badly that I can barely even go on the internet, and when I play games my chats take 10 seconds or up to actually show up. Anyways, on my router I am able to give in my MAC address and set how many GB/s of download speed I would like. The only problem is that I cannot for the life of me find my MAC address! I do not use an airport card, I just use some Asus adapter I bought at a computer store. Everyone says "just click on the airport in network or in "about this mac"!" First of all, in network there is NOTHING that says "airport" anywhere! I have looked through it countless times, I memorized it better than the back of my hand. When I press "Airport card" in "more info" it says "no information found." If anyone could please help me, and if you need I could make a video and put it on youtube showing my problem more thoroughly. Thank you.

Brian

System Preferences > Network > Choose your adapter > Advanced > there should be a Ethernet tab. click it and the ethernet id is your MAC address

Click to expand...

There is no advanced tab D: is it the IPv6 adress?

Nevermind just found it, THANKS!

i meant to let you know i'm running 10.6.8, but the differences in these areas are slight.

go to terminal app. type ifconfig then return. Look for the setting that contains your IP address. the mac address will be in the same group.

example:
en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 70:56:81:97:e2:fd
inet 192.168.123.106 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.123.255
media: autoselect
status: active

The orange part is you MAC address.
