Find the MAC Address of the Computers on Your Network

A MAC address, short for Media Access Control address, is a unique code assigned to most forms of networking hardware. This is a unique identifier specific to the network card inside the computer. The MAC address makes the host recognizable to and distinguishable from other hosts.

There are several reasons you may want to find the MAC address of your computer.

1. Network Security and Access Control

Many organizations and home networks use MAC address filtering to allow or block devices. Knowing your MAC address lets you register your device so it can connect securely.
Helps prevent unauthorized access by ensuring only approved devices join the network.

2. Troubleshooting Network Issues

When diagnosing connectivity problems, technicians often need the MAC address to:

Identify your device on the network.
Check for conflicts or duplicate addresses.
Verify DHCP assignments and IP configurations.

3. Device Identification

In large networks, MAC addresses uniquely identify devices, making it easier for admins to track usage, monitor traffic, and apply policies.

4. Static IP Assignment

If you want a consistent IP address, your router can assign a static IP based on your MAC address. This is useful for servers, printers, or devices that need predictable connectivity.

5. Security Audits and Inventory

IT teams use MAC addresses for asset management and compliance checks, ensuring all connected devices are authorized.

CC Get MAC Address is a tool for finding MAC address and computer names from IP addresses. You can use it to find the MAC address, computer name and IP address of a computer on your network or the whole LAN range itself.

CC Get MAC can resolve MAC addresses from IP or computer name. Also, you can find the IP address from the MAC address. CC Get MAC Address also can be used with the Wake On LAN feature of your network card. You can use it wake up any computer on your LAN remotely (To use Wake On LAN function, you must have a network card with chipset that supports this feature). It is also possible to change your MAC address if needed.
