The physical address is the memory block where things are stored during use. Linux uses physical to virtual and virtual to physical to access the Linux kernel and user work space. For more information you can check these web sites: Andries Brouwer's Linux Kernel Notes: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/lk/lk.html (see section 9) There is also a physical address for network cards. That address is input at the factory when the network card is manufactured. There is an online forum about How to Enter Physical Address in Wireless Network, which you can find here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=494842

An IP address is the same thing whether you use Linux, Windows, OS X, Haiku, ReactOS, DOS, UnixWare, etc. An IP address is a "unique" identifier for a host on a network.
type on a Linux terminal: ifconfig Note: it is ipconfig in Windows.
for Windows Systems use IPCONFIG /ALL command to view Mac Address. for Linux Systems use IFCONFIG -A command to view Mac Address.
ping [hostname] or ping [IP address]For example:ping wiki.answers.comorping 127.0.0.1
Use the 'ifconfig' command on your adaptor, or just 'ifconfig -a'
To calculate the physical address from a logical address, you can use the base address and offset. Add the base address to the offset to get the physical address. This process is commonly used in computer systems to translate logical addresses to physical addresses for memory access.

No, it is unix-based but Linux is a kernel not an operating system.Ubuntu,Linux Mint,Debian,and puppy Linux,ect. are OS's that use the Linux kernel.

It depends on the Operating System - For Win. 9x you can use winipcfg Other windows versions use ipconfig Unix and Linux use ifconfig
