If you want to know your mac address use ifconfig.

For computers on the same wire use arp or arping.

Code:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:00:FA:A1:3B
          inet addr:192.168.1.100  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          TX packets:8876 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:5378492 (5.1 Mb)  TX bytes:789215 (770.7 Kb)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc800


Mac address is 00:E0:00:FA:A1:3B, right?

Yes.

But generally you don't need to know your mac address. Unless, of course, your not troubleshooting your network.
