Find MAC address of a NIC on DOS

<b>ARP -A</b> is fine, but am still looking for a way to get the mac <b>offline</b> (w/o internet connection), is that ever possible?

Did you try the methods in the other posts? Such as:

ipconfig /all

or . . .

winipcfg

or . . .

If NetBIOS is enabled:
nbtstat -A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address of the local computer; "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 will not work)

or . . .

some NICs or other ethernet devices have the MAC address printed on a label.

If you post the model number of your NIC card here in the forum, or "Google" it, you may find an archive of the manuals, drivers, or one of us "old-timers" may have one in a back closet. If the computer really is running DOS in 2012 and you do not have the original NIC drivers, do you have the opportunity to recycle old PC's where you live?
