Does Blueyonder's AUP specify a number of PCs you are allowed to connect to the cablemodem? The cynic in me wonders if the reason to know the MAC addressof the NIC is so they do packet sniffing (or some other form of network probing) to check you are only using the number of PCs allowed.
I don't think they have any specific limit on numbers of computers, but iirc networks aren't supported - connect one and you do your own support :). There is a process for changing the MAC address which is associated with the modem - ring telewest and tell them you had to replace your nic (or search on their site) and they'll tell you how to do it.
