  The issue is not Widows 8 as I pointed out. It is the lack of GUI network management as a standard feature of Windows, going back at least to WXP.
  
  Incidentally, I was able to easily deduce the MAC addresses of all my computers using the web interface on my BEC router . I looked at DHCP assignments and the ARP cache. [It has been my practice to configure fixed IP addresses to all of my machines and give them names as well. This prevents confusion and speeds recovery from power outages while keeping all the local host information in one place (the router).]
  
  Typing commands to a command interpreter is not programming and one does not have to be any kind of programmer to do this.

  "Windows 8 in particular has been criticized for not being intuitive at all. "
