On windows, the incantation is 'ipconfig /all'  (note the 'p').  This
is very verbose, but there will be an entry for your ethernet card:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

One thing to be aware is that the above strings change according to OS language; also there could be other (possibly virtual) network cards, so extracting the desired MAC address from the output of 'ipconfig /all' isn't always straightforward.
