Mr. Fruit is trying to hook up the new PC and he just asked me how to find out the computer address so we can hook up the satellite, does anyone have a clue what he needs?

Our internet access is Hughes.net, which is the satellite internet provider.

Thanks, I will see if that is what he needs. We don't have a Mac.

Duh, I guess you can tell I know nothing about "geek" stuff, I use a PC and that's about it.

Thanks for the help, I should have the new PC up and running tomorrow. Now my APC has finally died, guess I will order that thingy tomorrow. #ni-1

Alpha,

For the meaning of a MAC address, you might want to have a look at this LINK

The native address is usually noted on the side of the network card.
