So are you trying to find the MAC address of the machine you're on, or
another machine on the network?  If it's a different machine, then
under Linux I would parse the output of arp -a, or try pinging the
machine in question and then use a packet sniffer to grab the ARP
packets.  I have >no< idea how to do this in Windows, though. :)
