Go to System Preferences/Network, click the AirPort tab, and the MAC address he'll need shows up as the AirPort ID number. MAC addresses always show up as a 12-digit alphanumeric code with each set of two characters separated by a colon, and the one that's important to network routers is the one that corresponds to the wireless card (or Ethernet/USB card for a wired connection).

A friend setting up a wireless connection needs to know the MAC address of his Mac. If one goes to the About this Mac menu (under the Apple) and clicks the "More Info..." button, the Hardware Overview shows a "Hardware UUID" that is a long string of alphanumeric characters with several dashes in it. Is that the same as the MAC address?

If not, where would one find that information?

Thanks.
