I thank you

MAC of what?

Start>run>CMD

ipconfig /all

the physical address it gives is the MAC of your network card.

OR for the MAC of your modem, it's written on the bottom

But what are you trying to do?

Fcuk knows then.

If a company wants you to tell them, ask them how to find out.

So they asked you on the phone for a mac code and you said "ok then"? not " i dont know what the hell that is or where to find" ?

Ring them back and say you cant find it or do a google search, google never fails me

No

The code is similar to when you wish to transfer your mobile no to another provider - you can only do this with both parties co-operation - hence the term Migration Authorisation Code....
