Go to settings of your Samsung and look up the Mac address. It should be under "device info".

What all are you using to tether? I never had to enter Mac address in any of the apps I used. Check the settings in the tether app and see if you can turn off Mac address

Nexus using Droid Forums

mac address

I have samsung galaxy, under device info, there is nothing that says mac address. Just has build number/kernel version/android version/model number...that is it.
What app are you using? I was just trying to go thru my droid x settings for tethering or wifi settings.. I did use a usb cable from droid x to samsung, thought that would help, it didn't just drained the battery on the droid.

appreciate your help..
