This may be possible.

Is there any way to know MAC address, to which one ping using 
`IP number'.

Today when such problem arises, I went to room where that PC was
housed with few other. I tried to ping to that PC from a nearby PC,
it responded "Request time out". When I run 'ifconfig', it showed
missing IP number. Output of ipconfig is as:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:21:FA:3F:2C
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1991 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:237891 (232.3 Kb)  TX bytes:60 (60.0 b)
          Interrupt:9 Base address:0xdf80

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
<snip>

For eth0, 2nd line which supposed to have IP address is missing. On
restarting `network' service, things worked fine.
