Find mac address but no TCP IP

Apologies if this is a bit simple, but I can't find the mac address of
my wireless PC card (on my laptop). I've tried ipconfig/all (I run
XP) but the wireless card does not appear. I have another bit of
software from my internet provider that says the wireless pc card is
NOTCPIP (I assume this means no TCP/IP). However, the wireless card
works fine (I've been using it for over a year!) I can find the wired
network card (which also works fine). Any suggestions?

my router-AP shows mac's of wireless clients connected

I've now tried, but unfortunately mine doesn't. Any other thoughts or
suggestions?

you changed names

i dunno...
In your winXP box, what is the make & model of this no mac wifi nic ?
guess you've done
c:> ipconfig /all > c:\myIpcfg.txt
and read the text output.

or you can download Wntifpcfg.exe from Microsoft's Web site, install it in
the windows\system32 directory and rename it winipcfg.exe. Then you can type
"winipcfg" at the command line.

you might want to look in your control panels network settings and see if
you have an adapter & tcp installed for the nic ... maybe uninstall and
reinstall it after noting the settings.

Open your Network Connections. Right click on your wireless connection and
click on Properties. Click on the support Tap and under connection status
click on the Details Button. Your MAC address is listed were it says
"Physical Address"

I wasn't aware the version of windows was specified beyond XP. Can't
stand that home edition anyway ;-)

Surely if you use the card to get the internet tcpip would have to be
installed?

I've tried getmac (I run XP Pro). I've tried using any of the mac
addresses I find on my wireless network to reduce access and none work.
I know the router works restricitng access by mac address because I've
tried with another laptop with built in wireless and it does work.
I've tried through network connections (thanks, because I didn't
realise you could get mac addresses this way) but it just comes up
blank. Must be something to do with the setup of my wireless pc card.
I'll try another way to get secure backups across my wireless network
(what I'm trying to do). Thanks again all for your assistance.
