Microsoft XBOX 360 (not the classic XBOX)

There are two sub-contexts:

  1. The 360 has been updated with the “New Xbox Experience” (NXE) dashboard. This is easily identifiable by the presence of avatars,the “Video Marketplace” with Netflix, and all-together different interface then previously.
  2. The 360 has not been updated to the NXE and still runs the old 360 dashboard.

Solution

On the old dashboard (pre-NXE)

  1. Go right to reach the System “blade” of the Dashboard.
  2. Select Network Settings.
  3. Select Edit Settings.
  4. Under Basic Settings check to make sure IP Settings is on Automatic.
  5. Go right to get to the Additional Settings Tab.
  6. Go down to select Advanced Settings.
  7. Toward the bottom of the screen you should see Wireless MAC Address. The MAC Address should appear below this.
