Determining my ethernet address

I need to find out the ethernet address of the machine my
program is running on without the help of the file /etc/hosts
(They are not maintained on my site). I know my hostname
and internet address.  Surely there must be a standard
way to do this but I'll be damned if I can find it.


Thanks for any help,

Jim Coleman
