Why do you want to know the IP? Do you have a router on the network? Or a switch that you can manage. If you have any Cisco hardware on the network you can easily determine the IP from an arp address. If it is a small network just show ip arp
Or show ip arp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Will give all stats from that IP. Here are some tools to LEAD you to know which device it is (MAYBE) http://www.coe.uky.edu/~stu/nic/nic.cfm If it is a printer assuming it's a jetdirect you can do "arp -s <ip address> <mac address>" where <ip address> is a spare IP address on your local subnet and <mac address> is the mac of the printer. Next "telnet <ip address>" and you get the menu of the jetdirect and can read what it's stored IP address is. Then delete the static arp entry and print a "help please phone IT and tell me where this printer is" message to it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Pereira Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2004 3:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Possible Spam: [Declude.Virus] OT - Need IP from MAC address Thanks for the reply, but I think you misunderstood....
