A device or computer gets their MAC address from their Network Interface Card (or NIC). This is not something that a user is able to change (See discussion as to why you can change your MAC address). However an IP address can be statically assigned to you which means a network administrator has physically typed out what your IP address and subnet mask is. Another way to get an IP address is through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, or DHCP as it is most commonly known as.

For network devices, it's a MAC address. MAC stands for 'media access control' and it's a unique identifier that's present in all hardware that interfaces with a traditional computer network.
