This will open the Connection Status properties page. The Network and Sharing Control Panel Appletįrom the list of "active networks", click on the text next to the label "Connections" as indicated in red in the above image. Clicking on it should open the Network and Sharing Center control panel applet. Under Control Panel an entry should appear for Network and Sharing Center. To open the Network and Sharing Center, click the Start button and type Network and Sharing into the search box. While it requires a few more steps and clicks, those not comfortable with the Windows Command Prompt may prefer to get the MAC address via the graphic interface of the Network and Sharing Center applet of the Windows Control Panel. It does not need to be connected to a network, but it does need to be powered on.įor this example, we've highlighted in red the "active" adapter best suited for use with a SIMetrix/SIMPLIS evaluation. Please note, however, that if you opt to go with the "Wireless Network Adapter", your WiFi switch (whether hardware or software) must be on in order to use SIMetrix/SIMPLIS. Typically, you would choose either a "Local Area Connection" or a "Wireless Network Adapter" for this purpose. If it shows as Media disconnected, then the adapter is likely not active and is therefore not suitable for use with a SIMetrix/SIMPLIS evaluation license. The column marked "Transport Name" will give some indication as to whether or not the adapter is active. The MAC address is listed in the column marked "Physical Address".

Either is fine, click on the first on the list. Under Programs a listing shoud appear for either cmd.exe or Command Prompt. To launch a command prompt, click the Start button and type cmd into the search box. Both of these are built in to Windows and do not require any separate download, but we'll provide instructions below for the less complicated of the two approaches, getmac. The fastest way to determine the MAC address of a PC running Windows 7 or later is via the command line, using either getmac or ipconfig.
