How do I find out the MAC address of a Netgear rt314 router?

I'm swapping it out for a linksys tomorrow and My cable company does register the MAC address of both the modem and NIC(or router in this case). As they do not officially support routers, I would rather spoof the old MAC addy on the new linksys than have them to call them up and deal with tech support to get the address changed. I have what looks like 2 or 3 numbers that could be MAC addresses on the paper they originally gave us when we signed up, but they don't say which is which and I won't have the old router with me when I get the new one(BB is letting me exchange it as its giving me trouble although I bought it a year ago.)

Connect to the admin config utility, (usually 192.168.1.1) and look at WAN connection. Shoul list the MAC somewhere. If not look through all the config tabs and you should find it.

You could also do an arp -a. You might wanna ping the router first, then arp.

Start>run>cmd(or dosprmpt if win98)>ping 192.168.1.1 Then arp -a.

Whatever MAC corresponds to the IP of the router is it.

Thank you for the arp -a command, that worked as well. Though 5 minutes after I posted I realized that the addy was printed on the bottom of the router.
