It lists the MAC address.

For instance:

eth0: flags=8003 MTU=1500
        inet 192.168.2.16 netmask FFFFFF00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
        Hardware type: Other, address: 0:9:1c:63:341:5c

Where 0:9:1c:63:341:5c is the MAC.

Go to your router, and set an IP address for your computer using this address (usually without the :). Then you'll have the same IP whenever you connect to your router, and you can use Samba.
