When you need to know your Ethernet-address (as programmed by the Manufacturer during production into your Network-Board ),use :WINIPCFG
It is not in a menu, you need to "run" it manually:

	Ethernet adapter
	Modem: On the Modem/Dialup-Adapter, no IP-address is pre-assigned, because it will assigned during connection to the ISP via DHCP.
	Modem: Once the Modem has connected, the IP-address (temporary assigned by the ISP) is display.
