xbox live, where do you get mac address

[tomanders91]

I would normally connect to my router which doesnt need all this, but its broken so i need to connect straight to modem, and the only way i got this to work on my old one was by entering the mac address, but there seems to be loads of mac address's ive found, ive typed in ipconfig/all and got a few, but also going onto http://192.168.100.1 gives me one aswell, but ididnt need to do that last time.

Any help please.

Depending on how experienced you are...
Does the modem have a console. If it does, and it's hopefully running linux, you could

cat /proc/net/arp

This will give you a list of all of its connected clients. Some modems also lists all internet ip's it is currently tracking, with the modem's mac, sounds silly, but a lot of them do it by design!

As an example

# cat /proc/net/arp
IP address       HW type     Flags       HW address            Mask     Device
192.168.1.2      0x1         0x2         00:01:02:03:04:05     *        br0

Hope this helps!

You can look on the back of the xbox itself?
