On Windows, you can determine the Hardware (physical) Address using WinIPCfg, as follows:

1.Use Start - Run to open the "Run" dialog.

2.Type WINIPCFG and press Enter (or click OK).

3.WinIPCfg will then run, as shown above.

4.Select your Wireless adapter from the drop-down list, and check the Adapter Address field.

Wireless LAN Configuration

To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings, as follows:

Mode	On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastructure".
	(The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.)
SSID (ESSID)	Wireless Stations must use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access Point
	they wish to connect to.
WEP	The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings
	for WEP (Off, 64 Bit, or 128 Bit).
	WEP Key: If WEP is enabled, the Key Table (for 64 Bit encryption) or
	Key (for 128 Bit Encryption) must be the same on the Wireless Stations
	and the Access Point.
	WEP Authentication: If WEP is enabled, all Wireless Stations must
	use the same setting as the Access Point (either "Open System" or
	"Shared Key").
