If you are on an Windows workstation, you can obtain the Host ID by issuing the following command at a DOS command prompt like so:
| C:\> ipconfig -all (The C refers to your main directory. If you are on a network, another letter may indicate your main directory. Just enter ipconfig -all after the :\>) |
and look for the Physical Address in the Ethernet Adapter section of the information returned (your information may vary):
| Windows 2000 IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . : MACHINENAME Node Type . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . : No Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: DNS Suffix. . . . . . . . . : domain.com Description . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/100 Physical Address. . . : 00-C0-A8-F1-79-8F DHCP Enabled. . . . . : Yes Autoconf Enabled. . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 141.11.11.150 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 The Host ID is the Physical Address, without dashes (e.g.00C0A8F1798F) |
