If you enable IPX routing, and have IPX network numbers on your various
router interfaces, or have IPX protocol stacks on your PC's then yes you can
ping mac addresses from a Cisco router. recall that in the world of IPX the
mac is the host portion of an IPX address.
I won't say that it's fun or easy. Particularly in a production network, no
matter how small.

You won't be able to ping a MAC-Address, but if you only want to find an IP
associated with the MAC, try using RARP! (Reverse ARP)
