I am setting up Dynamic Host Control Protocol(DHCP) and I want to add a reservation (reserve an IP address for a specific computer. I need to find the MAC address of the computer. How do I find this address? When I do not fill out this field in the new reservation dialogue box (in the DHCP snap in) I get a mesage saying the Unique Identifier String is not valid. What does this mean?

just go to "start" and "run" and type in "cmd" and hit enter. (go to command prompt basically) just type ipconfig /all that'll brin up a buncha info your mac address will be in there. sanctity
