I cant find the mac adress of the laptop to add it to my wireless network so it is not getting a response from my network modem

Buy an adapter. Or purchase a Sony Vaio specific cord. Does it have wireless capability?

To find the mac address of your computer, follow these steps....

1. Go to the start button.
2. Type in "cmd" (without the asterisks)
3. Type in the command prompt, "ipconfig" (without the asterisks)
4. The Mac address should be displayed in the command prompt.

The MAC address is unique to each LAN or wireless card and cannot be changed.
I presume you mean the IP address, this IP address can be fixed by you or can be automatically allocated by the router or the broadband modem to the LAN or wireless card in the computer.

Hi, You can add the networks through your system prefrences and set the wireless network to automatically connect to your mac book however the recomendation would be to always keep your settings to ask you before connectting to a wireless network, this will keep your notebook secure.

Dear michael_m75, I had the same problem with my iPod. It's because (I guess) your modem/router has MAC adress filtering. You need to get your ipod full acces through you MAC filtering. To know your iPod's MAC adress, go to: Settings > General > Info > (scroll down) Wi-Fi Address. If you give me some more info 'bout your router/modem, I'll search some more info.
Kind regards, FriskYR

Hi,

The SSID (network name) and password should be on the wireless router itself, usually underneath the unit.

If its not there, the password will be with documentation you got with the wireless router.



Regards.

type your ip adress into you web browser, this should take you to the configuration screen, there should be a tab that says security or something like that, select the type of security that you want, and it should assign you a wireless key automatically, hope this helps

go to network setting then assist me , select default location after completing it . go to advance setting then check dns server and add the server ip adress in it save the settings check it is working. rate if helpfull

go to my network places.then view your wireless network if any network u see then connect.
also if your router is setup in security mode u have to add your wireless mac addresses in allow list in your router,
type in run "ipconfig /all" then u see mac adreses.

You didn't say who your cable internet provider is, and many (or most, including Comcast) such providers require that the cable modem's MAC address be registered with their network. It's a security feature to prevent unauthorized (read: unpaid) users to access their network. The MAC address is usually found on a sticker at the bottom or rear of your modem. Write it down, then call your cable company's tech support the register it. It should work just fine after that.
