broken image



To find the MAC Address of your Xbox 360: 1. Go to My Xbox in the Xbox Dashboard and select System Settings. Click Network Settings, Configure Network. Select Advanced Settings from the Additional Settings tab, then select Alternate Mac Address. At the bottom of this screen you'll see a heading called Wired MAC, this is the.

  • What you need to do is: Create a list of MAC addresses used in your home (e.g. The Xbox One, the PC, the smartphones etc). You can find the MAC of the Xbox in the network settings, and the PC should show it's 'physical' address (i.e. The MAC address) when running the 'ipconfig /all' command on a Windows command prompt.
  • Go to the 'System' area of the Xbox Dashboard Select 'Network Settings' Select 'Edit Settings' Select 'Additional Settings' Select 'Advanced Settings' At the bottom of this screen you'll see a heading called 'Wired MAC Address' If you have an 'Alternate MAC Address' configured on this screen, you MUST remove that address and register.
  • Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
  • The ethernet port in the Xbox 360 that usually blinks when it's connected to Live, is blank, nothing. I've attempted to reconfigure the settings to automatic for the IP and DNS to no avail. I've changed it to 'manual setting' and the only thing I'm missing is my alternate mac address.

Instructions for finding the MAC address for some common devices can be found below.

Register your device for a wired connection

To register your device for a wired connection, see Register your wired device on the IU network.

Register your device for a wireless connection

For your media device or gaming console to connect to the internet via IU PublicNet, its network adapter must be registered with the IU PublicNet service. Although your device will be able to connect to IU PublicNet before its network adapter is registered, it will remain with limited access, which will prevent it from connecting to the internet. Once its network adapter is registered, your device will be able to receive a public IP address (in the 149.16x.x.x or 134.68.x.x range), which will allow it to connect to the internet.

Gaming consoles cannot connect to WPA2 Enterprise, and therefore cannot authenticate to eduroam or IU Secure.

Registration first involves accessing the online registration page from an internet-connected computer, tablet, or smartphone to associate your device's MAC address with your University account:

  1. Find your device's MAC address and record it, as you'll need it later. It will look similar to:

    For help, refer to:

    • PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, Wii, or Wii U: See Find your gaming console's MAC address.
    • AppleTV, TiVo, Roku, or Amazon Fire: See Find your smart TV, DVR, or set-top box's MAC address.
    • You can also consult the manufacturer's documentation for your device. Be aware that you need the Wi-Fi MAC address, not the wired.
  2. On a device with a web browser (your phone or laptop, for example), select the IU PublicNet network.

    Alternatively, on a computer, tablet, or smartphone already connected to the IU network (eduroam or IU Secure), access IU Home/IoT Devices public registration.

  3. Choose Home/IoT Devices. Log in with your IU username and passphrase.
  4. Complete the 'Create Device' form, for example:
  5. At the bottom of the form, click Create to register your device.

Your device should now have an IP address that begins in either 149.16x.x.x or 134.68.x.x. If your device still can't connect to the network, restart the device and try reconnecting to IU PublicNet.

If the problem persists, contact your campus Support Center.

Find your gaming console's MAC address

To register your gaming console, you will need to know its MAC address (similar to 06:CA:12:F3:BC:7A). Use the following instructions to find the MAC address for your gaming console:

External hard drive ratings mac. This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of consoles; rather, it includes those which are commonly used and widely available.

Using a third-party Ethernet adapter

If you're using a third-party Ethernet adapter, the MAC address may show up as all zeros. To find its MAC address, plug your Wii LAN adapter into a USB port on your computer; if you're using Windows, allow the drivers to install. Continue as follows:
