I've been given an old machine which I decided to put DSL on. I connect to the internet via a Belkin ADSL Wireless router and modem, but I'm hard wired in.

The issue is that I have MAC address filtering on the router, and as a result my DSL box can't connect as I cannot find a way of looking up its MAC address. Can you advise how I can look up the MAC address of my DSL box?
