When the Ready/Data light is solid, press the Continue button to print a menu settings page and a network setup page.
Select TCP/IP heading on the network setup page.
There you can change your IP address.

By default, the printers are set to take an assigned IP address from your DHCP server (or router) on your network. Connect it via the Ethernet port, then access the GUI for your server (or router) and check your connected devices - the MAC address for the Magicard printer will be presented there, along with the IP address that was assigned by the server (router).

Once you have the MAC address, you can then use "address reservation" features to ensure that a specific IP address is assigned to that device each time it is connected.

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.

I Open my browser....I signed in to my router as administrator ....
Mine is 192.168.1.1 ....
I went to status in my router ....
Then to local network ....
Then to DHCP Clients Table ....
This is how I found what printer address the was.... Then I typed the printer ip address into my browser
Mine happened to be 192.168.1.105 ....
Yours will probably be different....That got me to the 1720dn printer menu ....I clicked on Configuration ....
I clicked on Print Server Settings
I clicked on TCP/IP
I clicked on Set static IP address.
I changed IP address from 192.168.1.105 To 192.168.1.125
and Submit....Now you can get to the printer menu at 192.168.1.125

Go to run....
Printers & Faxes
Right click on Dell laser printer 1720dn
Properties. Ports ....
Add port ....
Double click on Dell Enhanced TCP/IP ....
I named the port My dell laser 1720 dn....Where it said enter a single IP address or host name I entered the new address 192.168.1.125
the clicked OK ....

Right click on Dell laser printer 1720dn
Properties....Ports
Choose your new port ....

You can display the MAC address and the IP address of your network card by click on Start - Run - type cmd and press Enter.
This will open a DOS command window - type ipconfig /all then press Enter The MAC address will be displayed as a Physical address.

To find your MAC address on the config page go to Standard Network Card then UAA (MSB, Canonical): you should have one or two sets of characters. the second set should be the MAC address to the printer. Hope this helps

You have your printer set to sharing (it does not have an IP addres because it does not have network capabilities).
Printer specs:

Hi!

I was able to locate this information for you on tht Toshiba FAQ section of their tech support site. Here is it, verbatim:

How do I discover the MAC address of the Brother network card?


To discover the MAC address of your Brother network card you will need
to print out a Network Configuration Report. To print this report
complete the following steps:

1. On the Brother machine press MENU.

2. Use the up or down arrow key to scroll to PRINT REPORTS and Press OK.

3. Use the up or down arrow key to scroll to NETWORK CONFIG and Press
OK.

4. Press BLACK START

5. The Network Configuration report will print. On the report, find the
section labeled <(><<)>Ethernet Address>. (Example: <(><<)>Ethernet Address> 00-80-77-90-0a-8c) This is the MAC address of your
Brother network card.
