-run \> type “cmd”  
-when the black prompt comes up type “ipconfig /all”  
-your mac address will be labeled as physical address

or

-open up network connections in the control panel, double click the device you want to know the mac of… Local area connection is ethernet, 1394 is firewire, then wireless (duh)  
-after opening up the device you want click the support tab then click the details button.

- and again physical address is the computers mac

again there is no point in that if you don’t have any geeks living near by, and still they can use air snort and view what the WPA key is since everything is transmitted via plain text.

whats really fun is sitting in capen, cause lord knows no one uses the VPN client to secure the wireless connection, and getting anything you want.
