Here's a snapshot of ipconfig/all I found

The LINK

Now, it shows Local Area Connection and Wireless Connection and shows two different physical addresses for both. So are both of these my MAC addresses?

How does it work?

Answer 1

One is the mac for the wireless and one is the mac for the Ethernet. Each network device has a unique mac

Answer 2

Yes, both are MAC addresses. Every network adaptor has it's own MAC address.

For further information, Wikipedia is a good start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_address

Answer 3

You got two network adapters, one for wired and one for wireless internet connection. Both show another physical address (=the mac address) because the mac address is kind of 'unique id' for the network card. In the whole world there is only 1 card with the mac address you found. (of course you can spoof these but that was not the question :))
