Use command:

    sudo ifconfig -a

Usually the network card is recognized as eth0

In the first line, under HWaddr, will be displayed MAC address.

Hi Zim,

Try this command from your terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal):
$ ifconfig | grep HWaddr

HWaddr is your mac address.

To get online, you have to know the ip address of your gateway on your network. If you're already have an ip address from DHCP server, you can run this command to know your default gateway:
$ route -n
