At least you got that pesky CAPS-LOCK problem fixed.

A Google search for "How to find my MAC address in Windows XP" would have
been faster..

Note: This first way is only applicable to Windows XP Professional

1.. Click Start.
2.. Select Run.
3.. Type in command.
4.. Click OK
5.. Type in cd\ and press Enter to bring you to the C: prompt.
6.. Type in getmac and press Enter.
7.. The MAC (or hardware address) will display.
Also, you can do the following to get the MAC address:
1.. Click Start.
2.. Select Run.
3.. Type in command.
4.. Click OK
5.. Type in cd\ and press Enter to bring you to the C: prompt.
6.. Type in ipconfig /all and press Enter.
7.. The MAC address in labeled as the Physical Address.
You could change your MAC addres using this utility:

Don't forget, you can type in either command from START--RUN and have it
stay up like this:

CMD /k getmac
CMD /k ipconfig /all

The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for
yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately
responsible for your actions/problems/solutions. Know what you are
getting into before you jump in with both feet.

Thanks alot.....

You can run a command prompt and in it
ipconfig /all
which will show it as Physical Address for each adapter
