Is there a "getmac" function in Windows 98? I need the MAC address for a W98 PC on a network using a wireless router and I have no idea how to find the MAC address using Windows 98. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Either the WINIPCFG.EXE program, or typing IPCONFIG /ALL in a MS-DOS window
will tell you what you want to know.

You can also PING the PC by computer name, then take a look at the ARP cache
by running ARP -G from the command prompt.
