yes, the mac address is the physical address.

did you try to setup the ip address manually? as it says below
"dhcp enabled : no"
if you open the network details for this connection from control panel and
enable dhcp, this might get it working.
otherwise try setting the network address to
192.168.1.10
as generally private addresses setup by routers will always start
192.168.1.x

ipconfig /renew
