I need to find ethernet address for local area connection and I have done the command prompt and typed ipconfig/all but when I do I haven't found ethernet address for local area connection. I get wireless LAN adapter for local area connection* 2, wireless LAN adapter for local area connection* 13, Ethernet adapter ethernet 2 which description is kaspersky security data adapater, wireless LAN adapter wifi, and ethernet adapter bluetooth connection. Im kind of in a hurry to get this address as I need it for 6 oclock tomorrow. Would be huge help if someone knew how I could get this address.

Hi
Don't know.
The usual is that a local router is used and common numbers are 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1 like this...
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
So can you ID the actual IP address of your device? State what kind of network it is?
Otherwise you have to scan the network and ID the device you want like a network printer, that could be at 192.168.0.30 or 192.168.1.87 or something similar.
Please expand on your situation.

I'm trying to register my computer for a wired connection at my school and to register I need the hardware (ethernet) address and when I run the command prompt I just don't get a ethernet local area connection possibility. Like the number I would be looking for would be 00-FF-5D-E6-4C-23. I get the address for ethernet for a bluetooth connection like i said, but not for a local area connection

Hi
The usual values are
IP address, Gateway, DHCP and DNS.
If you copy and paste the text into Notepad and save as LBB.bat; double click and you should get mac addresses etc.
@ECHO OFF getmac systeminfo PowerShell -Command "Get-NetAdapter" PowerShell -Command "Get-NetAdapter -Name * | Format-Table -View Driver" PowerShell -Command "GIP -Detailed" PowerShell -Command "Test-NetConnection"
"I need the hardware (ethernet) address" getmac will give those.
