VB/WinAPI/Networks, Getting a machine's MAC address given a NETBIOS machine name or IP address

Getting a machine's MAC address given a NETBIOS machine name or IP address

Scott McFadde #1 / 2	Getting a machine's MAC address given a NETBIOS machine name or IP address If anyone knows how to retrieve a machines MAC address by using the machine name or IP address as the key, please let me know. I think this will probably be accomplished using some NETBIOS routine inside of NETAPI32.DLL but not exactly sure how to do this. It would be really cool if I could pass a machine name like "BGates" or an IP address and have an API function return that machine's MAC/LANA address. Thanks in advance. Scott

M. Kipck #2 / 2	Getting a machine's MAC address given a NETBIOS machine name or IP address Hey, sorry I couldn't help you directly but... Search your ARP-Cache (perhaps you write him into a File). In the Arp cache do you find the IP and the MAC (refer the RFC for ARP) If you will find a better solution, perhaps you will know me ! HTH, Michael Scott McFadden schrieb in Nachricht ...
