How to find out my MiSTers current MAC address? I need it before my comcast router can allow me to port forward a reserved-IP address.

Re: MAC Address
Get into the terminal (F9), log in then do a
Code: Select all
ifconfig
If you want mac address of the Ethernet port, look for eth0: and the ETHER value is the mac address
For wifi, look for something like wlan0.

That is correct and
Code: Select all
ip a
would also work. But keep in mind that MiSTer's Ethernet port has a default MAC address of 02:03:04:05:06:07 and should be configured in /media/fat/linux/u-boot.txt, for example
Code: Select all
ethaddr=11:12:0A:4B:25:10
to have a known and real MAC address.
