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.....

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.
