Hello. I have MAC Filtering enabled on my router and in order to grant access to the network/internet on my PowerPC Mac 8.5.1, I need to find out the MAC ADDRESS. How do I find that info?

Wooo long time since OS 8.

Look for a utility like System Profiler and that has the ethernet info on it.

How about looking at the Control Panel for the internet.

Why do you have filtering on? I never have used that. Are you trying to block someone from coming in?

Best of luck that was like 8 years ago so I may be way off base.

I found the following here.
To discover the MAC address (Open Transport)

1. Under the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then select the AppleTalk control panel.

2. Click on the pop-up menu and change it from whatever is listed, to "Ethernet".

3. Under the file menu, select "Get Info" and record the Hardware Address Listed.

4. Close up the AppleTalk control panel, saving any changes
Click to expand...
It works for OS 9.2, and further up the linked page, instructions say it works for System 8 and later.
