How can I find out the MAC address of my Ethernet adapter? Thanks.

Hello everyone, I keep getting (seemingly random) error messages when trying to upload files to an IIS 6.0 (Windows Server 2003) Server using WebDAV. When I copy a file from my local harddrive (say C:\test.doc) using Explorer to the WebDAV-Server (say https://www.jura.uni-duesseldorf.de/dav/noack) I sometimes (not really depending on any reliable scheme) get a window informing me that...

(Using Vista and IE8beta1 right now, but the same was with IE7)

Like anything in Vista ISN'T cryptic! Ok, I asked in an earlier post about Vista just deciding to drop drives and nobody seems to know, or won't answer, so here's the message I get when copying a measly 350Mb file from my local drive to a network attached drive: "An error occurred while reconnecting x: to \\192.168.x.x\sharename Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in...

I travel between two networks, the public network at the coffee shop and my private network at home. I have found that I can connect automatically to the wireless access point and then to the network at the coffee shop without difficulty. When I go home, however, I find my computer consistently connects to the local wireless access point, but for some reason it still thinks it has a lease...

I called Apple, and they said it is because Dell's software is running my wireless connection rather than Microsoft's. Does...
