Thumbs up How do i find out the MAC address of my Router/Firewall?

Thread title says it all...

i want to find out the MAC addresses of my 5 Port Ethernet Hub Router, my Wireless Router, and my hardware firewall. i need them, so that i can register them with my ISP and use one cable connection between 3 comps.

Cheers

Routers usually have a configuration page
try this
http://192.168.1.1
username is usually "admin" and so is the pass

or a more easier way is just to look on the back or on the bottom of it, there will be a sticker with the MAC address

lol - you're fucked.

2 routers and a firewall to share an internet connection???

whats more - why on earth do you need your mac address? the mac address is provided on your network card for the pc - the 5 port (4 port + wan) Router has its own mac address and also has the ability to clone a computer's mac address. hook it up this way (configuring is usually done thru http://192.168.0.1)

modem for cable connection to 5 port router, configure first the modem from a computer then plug the router into the modem, and the computer into one cat5 port on the router, configure the router so that is A: set up to use the cable modem thru the WAN port and then B: have the configuration computer's mac address cloned so that the modem will continue to think that only 1 computer is using the connection. then set up your lan however you want

1 question - why do you need to register your router's mac address with your isp? isps usually dont care what a user does with their internet connection after it has reached the modem point...

my setup was as follows

Cable Modem
Firewall
5 Port Router = 2 comps via ethernet
Wireless Acess Point = for my mum's laptop.

In order for internet to go through to the comps with the firewall protecting everything, i had to register the MAC address with my Blueyonder ISP. Before i got the firewall, i already had the cable connection, and the technician registered my Computer's MAC address with them.

I don't know why they require it, i guess so that only the paying client has access to the broadband?

My uncle made up this hardware firewall, and registered the MAC address of the network card in it...but since Blueyonder uprated their systems, i've been unable to use this setup. the technician i spoke to to sort his out said it was something about a static ip from my firewall that wouldnt let me connect or something. either way its way over my head, haha. So at the moment, i've got the cable modem running directly into my primary network card.

However, if i connect my secondary network card to my 5 port router, then for some odd reason, i can't get a "true" connection to the internet. everything is connected and powered up, but no data goes through.
