This command is not exactly what I am lookig for.
I have a MAC address for examle "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff" but I dont know what its IP.
What I want is to get the IP address knowing the MAC address.
On the other hand I have successfully re-addressed my NIC by the follwing commands:
ifconfig ethx down
ifconfig ethx hw ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
where ethx is (eth0, eth1, ...).
Thanks
Mazen

Why not go to a terminal window (assuming you are using Linux) and type arp
-a?
BTW if you are successful at re-addressing your NIC, let me know!

I've heard about a program called "arpping" that can "ping" a host using the
MAC address instead of IP address.
