How to find ethernet address?

[Yunsik Hwang]

I'm just a novice in computer networks.
Now, I have two big problem.

One) How to find a ethernet address in my PC?
I'm using a Trumpet TCP/IP stack in our LAN, not SLIP or PPP.
Is there a any utility to find ethernet address?

Two) How to find a ethernet address in Unix host?
I tried "arp myhost", but results in strange message.
"myhost (my IP address) -- no entry"

It's very grateful if anyone gives me a solution.
Thanks.

First, do you want the hardware ethernet number (6 bytes) of your
interface card, or the IP address (4 byte number usually written
as 123.81.1.23). If it is the latter, (most likely) this must
be assigned by your local network administrator. You'll also
need the addresses of the gateway(s) and DNS nameservers, and
the subnet mask for your local TCP/IP network segment.

Ping the broadcast address for your network and dump the arp table.
On a Unix host type `arp -a`

On Novell's system, there is a program called netaddr which
will return the Ethernet address of a card. It's quite useful for
tracking machines, and can be used (with a little work) as a DOS
variable for logic operations.
