A mac address is 12 digits. It's the address of the network card in your computer.

Every single network card has a unique address.

It's likely that they've set up their router to only allow certain devices to access it. One way to do that is to limit which mac addresses can use it.

Another way to do it is to use a password or "key" on their router that YOU would have to enter - but by doing it by limiting mac addresses insteady - they can turn off individual connections from people they don't want accessing it, without making everybody else change their key/password.

You can find your mac address by doing this:

1.Press WindowsKey+R or , type ncpa.cpl in the box, and click OK.
2.Right-click the Local Area Connection.
3.Click Status.
4.Click Details.
5.The MAC address appears as Physical Address.

Getting your number doesn't do you any good - they still have to enter it into their router's "allowed" list.
