I don't know if this is an XP OS question or a motherboard thing, but does
someone know how/where I find my computer's MAC ID #? Thanks.
 
It's the specific ID built into your network card... which may be an
individual PCI device, or USB device or a chipset on the motherboard. It's
not an O/S question.

To find out what it is on your computer (if you have network capability) see
the very bottom few lines at:

If you don't have network capability, you won't have a MAC ID.
 
Open a Command Prompt and type:
ipconfig /all

You should see your Local Area Connection and it should look something like
this:
[...snip...]

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : domain.com
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network
Connection
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-11-25-6B-A9-F1
[...snip...]

the Physical Address is the MAC Accress.
