Sometimes you need the MAC address to your XBox 360 so you can setup security on your network router. Here’s how to locate it.
1. Navigate to the System area of the Xbox Dashboard.
2. Select Network Settings.
3. Select Edit Settings.
4. Select Additional Settings.
5. Select Advanced Settings.
The MAC address will be displayed toward the bottom of this page where it says Wired MAC Address.
awesome, great explanations dude!
It say my xbox mac address isnt valid when i try to register it either. I dont know why it is not working i have made sure everything is how it is supose to be.
Just an FYI to everyone, for what ever reason the MAC address I had to use to acquire a wireless connection was actually the one for the “Ethernet” or wired MAC address.
This is a totL SNAFU on MS’s part in my opinion

i have tried to put my xbox 3600 mac address to my router so that it will allow it but it says that it is an invalid mac address and i was just wondering how to fix that
i am using a wired connection and my router is a bt voyager
This has changed since the advent of NXE.
From the “My Xbox” channel, go to System Settings > Network Settings > Configure Network > Additional Settings > Advanced Settings. Here it will show you your wired MAC address.
If you have a wireless adapter and need to find the address of that (especially if you’re using MAC filtering on your wireless router), follow the above steps and open the Wireless Information in the Advanced Settings menu.
Here, you’ll find the name of the device, as well as the MAC address, Serial number and Firmware Version.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

“MAC address” stands for Media Access Control address. it is a unique number used by Manufacturers to identify their network adaptors or interface cards.
It is a hexdecimal code and usually comprises of 12 characters long (as you stated on your comment).
i dont even no what a mac address is , and when ii enter something all it says is …, the alternate MAC address you entered is not valid. This address must be 12 characters long and contain the letters A-F and numbers 0-9 only. The second digit must be an even number or the letters A,C or E.
if you get this please let mee know what to do
thankyou.
the mac address is in hex… 1-0 a-f so any 0 is a zero not the letter “O” the xbox should be detected s a media extention on windows…?
i got my mac address off of my xbox 360. but when i go to type it into the server for my school, it comes up not a gaming device. also when i look at the address the 0 and O look the same. i tried different combinations to try and get in on live. but it still wont work.. if u you could help me out.. thank you
