The MAC adress I'm referring to is the hardware address aka >Ethernet address of your iBook. Can be found in System Profiler/Network >or Network Preferences/Network/Ethernet, looks like 00:03:82:46:98:0b >(bogus number). By 'Hot Spots' I assume you mean Wireless (802.11) hotspots that show on your Airport setup. If this is the case, you do not want the MAC address of the iBook's ethernet port you, instead you need the MAC address of the Airport Card. Each ethernet controller has it's own MAC address, and in order to use Wireless you need the Airport one. It is available in OS X under: System Preferences -> Network then select the 'Airport' interface and it should display it there. Either that or, as Marc said, it will be avaiable in the 'Apple System Profiler' in the Network part of the 'System' tab (may be wrong there). -- Mark Benson http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
