No - the client and the server communicate using TCP/IP as
transport/internet layer but that does not mean they use Ethernet as
network access layer.

MAC Addresses are generally only transferred within a subnet and you aren't
going to be able to get them in the general case.

What is it that you are really trying to accomplish? There might be some
other solution than having to get the mac address of a remote computer.
