network devices will only allow one mac to connect and deny the second. So any information needing to be sent to one of those either gets sent to both or neither. If two devices connect at the same time with the same mac address there is no way to tell the two apart. The first three say who made the device and the last three are the individual identification of the device. When you connect to a server, a router, or any other device your mac address says what the device is. There it will show your ip address, mac address, and wifi address. Will probably display about and then the name of your device. Scroll down all the way to the about option at the bottom.
You will see wifi, ethernet, more, sound, etc as options going down the left side of the screen when there. If that's not an option then select or go into the settings or setup menu. Do not use 00:11:22, use your mac! The first three pairs tell what the device manufacturer is and the last 3 sets are the individual device identification.įor an android emulator, you can turn it over and look on the bottom. Use those last 6 numbers or letters in the mac of your chosen emulator. Take the mac address it gave you and write down the last half of it, the entire mac will look like aa:bb:cc:00:11:22 and 00:11:22 will be what you're looking for. This tells you your mac address for your net devices, your ip, and your network state.
