Finding and registering your game console's MAC address

If you own an Xbox or a Playstation 2 and would like to be able to place it on the network, you will need to register it with the Help Desk. One of the things you need to submit is the MAC address, which allows us to identify your console so we can grant it access.

Playstation         Xbox         GameCube           Wii
1. Power up the PlayStation 2 and load the Network Adaptor Startup Disc.
2. Once it has loaded, select ISP Setup and press X.

3. The ISP SETUP will begin to load, and you will be presented with a license agreement. Select Agree and press X to continue.

4. For connection type, choose Local Area Network (LAN) and press X to continue.

5. Select Automatic Configuration and press X to continue.

6. At the connection test screen, select Advanced and press X to continue.

7. At the Advanced Broadband Settings screen, make sure Automatic is selected. While you are at this screen, make note of the MAC Address at the bottom. You will need this number to register your game console.

8. Once you have the MAC address, you may call the helpdesk to register your PlayStation. Once the console registration is complete, allow 48 hours then you should be able to successfully connect your game console to the network.
