HT1695 ipad mini mac address for setup

Anyone know how to get the iPad Mini MAC address when first setting up the device? I have a MAC filtering on the WiFi and it seems I can't either skip the setup or find out what the MAC address is. This is annooying since I know I can't be the only one who has run into this.
Why can't i find out the MAC address when setting up the logon and why am I forced to set up networking? Can I please have one of two solutions available?

I have the same problem. Did you get an answer for that?

MAC Address for iPAD

I have just received my first Apple product and need to get the device MAC address for my router connection. Can anyone tell me how to get it.

Settings->General->About->WiFi Address is your mac address.

What is my iPad's MAC Address?

My household network only allows known (registered) MAC addresses to transceive through the wireless router. How do I obtain the MAC address for my new iPad so that I can enter it into the router's table of allowed devices? Why wasn't the MAC address displayed prominently in the documentation?

I would imagine (since I don't have one) that it is located in the same area as the iPhone. Go to settings>about>look at the WiFi address. That is the MAC address.

I need to change the MAC Address for Airport on MacBook

I have a specific need to change my son's Airport MAC address as his school requires the use of USB network cards that aren't compatible with MACs. These cards are needed because the school's router uses MAC address filtering.
Before we upgraded his Mac to Snow Leopard, we were able to change the MAC address to the MAC address of the useless dongal the school supplied. We basically created an AppleScript program that ran the "sudo ifconfig en1 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" and all was good.
This command no longer works for changing the MAC address. We tried it as root user as well and by typing it into the terminal window as root. After running the command, we can run "ifconfig en1" and it does display the new mac address but when we turn the airport on and try to connect, it just hangs and won't connect.
Our other non-Snow Leopard still works fine after running the commands so I'm guessing Apple disabled this functionality. It's hardly a security issue by being able to change your mac addres.
Is there a new way to accomplish this? I've searched everywhere.
Thanks!

Would an easier solution be to provide the school's IT admin with your mac address and have it added? If they can add a block of mac addresses for the usb dongles, they can add more for machines that cannot use the dongle.
Also: "It's hardly a security issue by being able to change your mac address."
While it may not be a security issue for your machine, it is a security for the school network who is using mac address filtering as hopefully only one part of their wireless security.
That being said, have you read this?

ARP table not populating mac address for previously reachable IP address

Router has been online and working fine with one BGP neighbor for almost 2 years and no downtime. 2 weeks ago, added a 2nd BGP peer. Everything worked fine for 2 weeks, then all of a sudden yesterday the 2nd BGP peer is disconnected and does not come back. ISP checks and sees everything looks fine on their end. We cannot even ping each other now.
Upon investigation, the ARP table is not even populating the MAC address for the BGP peer IP anymore (same local subnet). Stays "incomplete" in the table no matter what we do, including clearing arp table, changing IP address, etc.
Plug a laptop directly into the 2nd BGP peer FE port and replicate the IP addressing. Laptop cannot ping Router, but Router CAN ping laptop. Check ARP table, but STILL no mac address assigned and now not even the ARP table showing "incomplete".
Thinking it could be the FE interface, switch to the 2nd FE interface and perform same laptop test, this time with arbitrary IP addressing. Now cannot ping each other, no MAC in ARP table.
End up rebooting the router and lo-and-behold, everything is working normally again. 2nd BGP peer peers up instantly.
I should also mention that the 1st BGP peer worked flawlessly throughout, taking all the Internet load and having no issues throughout.
Also, the FE ports for the 2nd BGP peer are on an HWIC FE card plugged into the router. The 1st BGP peer is plugged into the built-in GE interface. 2901 running: c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-4.M4.bin
Lastly, no router resource issues, no error messages, no logs. Just the BGP peer disconnecting.
I have never, in 20 years working with Cisco routers seen something like this before. This is the most fundamental aspect of IP and Ethernet that was not working.
Has anyone ever seen this behavior before??

When you were checking the ARP table was there an entry for Fast0/0/0?

How do I find the Mac address for my 8900?

I have a wireless network and can't connect to it at all. I have looked and typed in Blackberries search engine and came up with nothing, only answers are about a MAC computer, not what I am looking for.
I have to add the Mac address to the wireless network in order to get past the firewall and this is not working for me, any ideas.
Thank you,
Animal

If you rented it on a computer, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.
If you rented it on the iPad, no.

IP-4-ZERO_ADDR: Zero MAC address for ip in ARP cache

Could someone hlep me with this log message: IP-4-ZERO_ADDR: Zero MAC address for <ip> in ARP cache
It just started appearing in our Cisco 10012 CMTS, and all of the documentation is very vague as to what it is and how to fix it. I'm hoping someone else has seen the message and can help clarify it's meaning. Thanks in advance!

Your not the only one with these logs mess :
Jan 20 13:05:10: %IP-4-ZERO_ADDR: Zero MAC address for 10.100.xxx.69 in ARP cache
Jan 20 13:30:02: %IP-4-ZERO_ADDR: Zero MAC address for 10.100.xxx.69 in ARP cache
I thing the reason is that someone has a worm or something ping-flooding/scanning the network, check your arp table for incompletes.
What to do about it, disable icmp on the network maybe, for now we dont have a problem on the network but would be nice to fix this thing.

E4200 v2 - Uses multiple MAC addresses for the same device

This unit seems pretty good at first but on looking at the Web interface I noticed that it was using multiple mac addresses for the same device and showing devices on the lan on the Wireless side and other odd things.
After a week of running it the home server network started to get erratic, it would seem to all point to dns and dhcp issues in the router.
Seems the V1 had the same issues that they did not fix on this.
The Cisco connect software shows 5 devices the Web based utility shows 3??.
Its pretty bad that they charge nearly $200 and cannot be bothered to finish the unit or address the issues that were in V1.

I am afraid I didn't get the clear picture of the issue mentioned in the post. Could you please elaborate a little bit? If you connect a device/computer wired and then later you connect it wirelessly. It is obvious that you would get to see two different MAC addresses for the same device, one for the LAN adaptor and other one for WLAN adaptor. If that is what you are referring to?
Secondly, may I know, what issues did you face with DNS and DHCP in the router? Is it not able to resolve the DNS or something else or DHCP is not sending IP address to the clients?

I want to buy iPad mini wifi + cellular for indian freind. Which Carrier should i select while buying it online?

I want to buy iPad mini wifi + cellular for indian freind. Which Carrier should i select while buying it online?
As far as i know service provider is not a constraint for i pad as ipads are always unlocked. Also, do we need to get nano sim from US or India srvice provider will have it? i am asking this as in Singapore iPads are offering 3 free nano sim cards.

There is no CDMA in Europe or UK if that influences you, only GSM
All the UK Carriers offer Data nano sims ,on contract or PAYG
and this will help on 4G
http://www.apple.com/ipad/LTE/
and be aware the warranty is now not international

If i buy ipad mini from website for sprint or verizon should i have to make a contract with cellular supplier or not and if i take it to England does LTE (4G) will work their with my carrier

if i buy ipad mini from website for sprint or verizon should i have to make a contract with cellular supplier or not and if i take it to England does LTE (4G) will work their with my carrier

AT&T and europe all use GSM . There is no CDMA in Europe
A genuine unlocked iPhone 4/4S from Europe will work fine
A similar unlocked iP5 will work on 3G but NOT on 4G as the
European iP5 does not have the 4G bands suitable for use in US
and the warranty will not be valid in the US it is not international
