I am not sure what you mean by "Mac Address". If you mean the ISP
address of the machine, then you need to tell TCP/IP how to get the ISP
address. One option is to enter it manually. One might do this when hooking
up to a fixed address line. This occurs when a network admin has set the
hard address of the line and the network expects you to have that address.
Or you can have the network tell you what your address is. This is done
for things like DHCP. If you are using the "have the network tell you"
option, then of course nothing will happen until you are connected to a
real network.
