There is not such thing as a MAC IP.
- ipconfig /all WILL show the MAC address as well as the IP.

Besides, I was helping if you didn't notice.
Do you think I have > 1000 posts because I post *****ings?
With all due respect, you started it.
There, you're quoted. Happy?... what your network (MAC) ip is unless ..

(MAC id/ addr. anyway its just a 6 byte hexidecimal translation of the 4 byte ip addr).

MAC addresses are assigned by the maker of your card (ie your modem or your network card).
On a local area network (LAN) or other network, the MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. (On an Ethernet LAN, it's the same as your Ethernet address.) When you're connected to the Internet from your computer (or host as the Internet protocol thinks of it), a correspondence table relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address on the LAN.
The MAC address is not a translation of the IP address. What does happen though is there is a table created that will match each MAC address on the ethernet network with the IP that corresponds to it. If the IP changes then the table is updated. The MAC never changes and can *not be changed.
