MACAdr is a handy command-line tool that helps you find the MAC address of your computer and any others on your local network. Plus, it shows you vendor details, which is pretty neat!
You won’t need to do any complicated setup for this MAC address finder. It comes as a single .exe file, so you can run it from anywhere on your hard drive or even from a USB stick. No admin rights are needed, and there are no extra software requirements to make it work.
Once you've got the program, just open up a Command Prompt window. To start using MACAdr, type in its name along with the .exe extension. If you hit enter without adding anything else, it will show you the MAC address for each network interface on your computer—like Ethernet, wireless LAN, or tunnel adapters.
The command syntax looks like this: MACAdr.exe [[network] | [host] | [MAC]] [/s:x]
. You can check out how to use it by typing /?
or /h
. Here’s what those terms mean:
You can only enter one of these three arguments at a time when running a command. And don't forget—you can pick your separator using /s:x
, but the default separator is just space!
A little tip: You can write MAC addresses in full (like xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) or short form (xx.xx.xx). But when you're specifying network addresses, make sure to include all three octets followed by a dot at the end (e.g., 192.168.0.).
If you’re looking for a quick way to identify your own computer's MAC address or those of others in your local network—and get some vendor info too—MACAdr does the job well! In our tests, it barely affected performance and ran smoothly on Windows 10.
