Determining Your MAC Address for XBox and Sony Playstation 2

Microsoft XBox

1. Turn on your Xbox console with no game disc in the disc tray.

2. From the Xbox Dashboard, choose Xbox Live.
These steps assume you cannot connect to Xbox Live until you finish configuring your Xbox console to use your PC's MAC address. Therefore, you should receive the following message: "Could not connect to Xbox Live. Do you want to troubleshoot your network connection?”

3. From the Connect Status screen, select Settings.

4. The 12-digit number at the bottom-right corner of the Network Settings screens is the MAC address of your Xbox console. Do not change your Xbox console MAC address; just write it down so that you can use it later.
