Hi,
I need to find some MAC address in my LAN. I am not able to ping a particular IP which I know is alive and exist. I have tried the DOS command "getmac /s <ipaddress> "
but its not showing me mac address. This is possibly due to some restrictions on the network. I have also tried the software GetCC MacAddress but it was of no help
:-(
Can anyone plz help me on this issue.....

Thanx....

if you know the IP address, you can find MAC by using nbtstat command:

nbtstat -A <ip address>

MUST BE uppercase A with IP address.

type nbtstat /? for help

Is the XP firewall enabled on the client machine? If so, it will not answer ping.
