Gaming Device Information

Setup Instructions for Consoles:
In order to use a PS2, Xbox, Xbox360, PS3 or Wii, on the ResNet Network, you need to find your device's MAC Address. Once you have your MAC Address, fill out the form at the bottom of the page to submit a request for registration.

XBox 360

1. Go to the System area of the XBox Dashboard and select Network Settings.
2. Select Edit Settings.
3. From Additional Settings, select Advanced Settings.
4. At the bottom of this screen you'll see a heading called Wired MAC Address.

XBox

1. Turn on your XBox console with no game disc in the disc tray.
2. From the XBox Dashboard, choose XBox Live.
   These steps assume you cannot connect to XBox Live until you finish configuring your XBox console to use your PC's MAC address. Therefore, you should receive the following message: "Could not connect to XBox Live. Do you want to troubleshoot your network connection?".
3. From the Connect Status screen, select Settings. The 12-digit number at the bottom-right corner of the Network Settings screens is the MAC address of your XBox console. Do not change your XBox console MAC address, just write it down and call us.

PlayStation 3

1. Power up the PlayStation 3 without any disc in the drive.
2. Once the PlayStation 3 operating system has loaded, select "Settings," then "Network Settings."
3. Select "Settings and Connection Status List" from the "Network Settings" menu.
4. The physical address will be listed under "MAC Address."

PlayStation 2

1. Power up the PlayStation 2 and load the Network Adaptor Startup Disc.
2. Once it has loaded, select "ISP Setup" and press X on your controller.
3. The ISP Setup will begin to load, and you will be presented with a license agreement. Select Agree and press X to continue.
4. For connection type, choose "Local Area Network (LAN)" and press X to continue.
5. Select "Automatic Configuration" and press X to continue.
6. At the connection test screen, select "Advanced" and press X to continue.
7. At the "Advanced Broadband Settings" screen, make sure "Automatic" is selected. While you are at this screen, make note of the MAC address at the bottom.

Some of the PS2 games also have the ability to list your MAC address, but the above steps are ResNet's preferred way of finding the MAC.

PSP

1. Navigate to "System Settings"
2. Then navigate to "System Information," which is where the MAC address is listed.

Wii

1. From the Wii Channel menu, select "Wii Settings". (the round button in the bottom-left of the screen with "Wii" on it)
2. Select "Internet", then "Console Settings".
3. The MAC address of the Wii will be displayed on the first line.

Nintendo DS

To obtain the MAC Address from a Nintendo DS, you must first insert a Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection compatible game and access the WFC Setup Utility. Please note that the exact steps to access the setup utility varies by game. However, the setup utility is a standard menu, included with all WFC-compatible games.

After accessing the utility, tap "Options," then "System Information."

The MAC Address and Nintendo WFC ID will be listed on the screen. Unless the game player has successfully connected with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, the WFC ID will be blank.
