hi, everyone:
we are going to connect our sgi 4d/35 to university netnwork. the network 
manager ask us to give him the ethernet address of our workstation. 
my question is :

1) Where should I find out the ether net address, i checked /etc/ethers and
/usr/etc/ethers, /usr/etc/hosts, nothing is there except IP address and 
hostname.

2) Is there any utility in the unix that give me ethernet address ?

any reply is appreciated.

Type "netstat -ain". You will see something like:

horus 1# netstat -ain
Name Mtu   Network     Address            Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs  Coll
et0  1500  193.35.16   193.35.16.1        35528     0    35008     0  4784
                        224.0.2.2
                        224.0.0.1
                        08:00:69:02:0c:70

                        224.0.0.1
horus 2#

The ethernet address is the six pairs of hex digits separated by colons 
on line 5 of the example shown above.
