MAC address is different from the IP-Address.Use this to find out the MAC
address.
http://www.dur.ac.uk/its/services/network/lan/mac/linux/

Simply type /sbin/ifconfig and find out the
HWADDR . It is a twelve-digit number of hexadecimal characters (0-9, a-f)
and will usually look like this.
Ex>00-E0-29-44-9b-2b

Use the http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-10.html#ss10.20
to setup ACL's based on MAC address rather than IP.
