No, MAC addresss and IP address are not the same. MAC addresses are "hard-coded" into the Network Interface Card (NIC) and only ID that individual card. The IP address is software generated and ID's both the network and the individual host.

What is the different between mac address and ip address?
MAC address is fixed to the hardware device (for example a network card) and can not be changed. IP address is assignable.

Example - 10.03.d5.f3.45.fc , where are an Internet Protocol address is given to a computer when it gets connected to the network. Its divided into four parts , separated by fullstops.
