No, the ethernet hardware address, or MAC address (which has nothinig to do
with Mac OS or Macintosh), is something different than IP address.  A MAC
address never changes, and should be unique, IIRC.  I don't know how to get
it programmatically, though.  I know you can go to your TCP/IP control
panel (if TCP/IP is connecting through Ethernet) and do Get Info, and the
information is there.
