    Machan, If your computer has a Ethernet port (RJ45) there is a mac address which hard coded to chip. Also wi-fi connections too get the same mac address. It has 48 bits and the mac address to a network adaptor is unique. (although it can be changed by using softwares).
    But the tracing from mac addresses can only be done in LANs. When you connect to internet, the tracing is done by using the IP address that you get. But in SL all the ISPs provide dynamic public ip to connect to internet.....

    Anyone knows about MAC address...?
    If theres a MAC address in my notebook, is it possible to trace the location when
    its got stolen...?

    MAC is a a unique number that comes in you ethernet device. but there are MAC adresses in all other internet devices.. you can easily change the MAC address... IP eken thamaa MAC eka hoyaagannee.. meekata thiyana protocall eka thamaa ARP address resolution protocol kiyannee.. laptop eka trace karan eka nam hariyana ekak nee... u have like 1/10000 chance... SLIIT ekee ussapu lap eka umbeeda?
