OT - Mac address?

[Dario Bonazza]

This is very OT, but since we have IT folks over here, I'm trying to ask. 
When trying to book an hotel in Germany, I asked for internet connection 
availability in their rooms. Their reply:
"We have internet connection (wireless lan) in all rooms for free but 
therefore you have to fill out a sheet of paper with your mac-address and 
then we can activate you for using internet."
Since I don't have a Mac, I have no clue what a Mac address is. However, I 
suspect they mean a IP address. Even so, I believe my internet wireless 
connection uses a dynamic IP and in case I have to setup a new connection 
they have to assign me and let me know an IP address...
What would you expect to do with a Win XP laptop for getting such a 
"mac-address" wireless connection?

Thanks a lot.
Dario
