If you've got this machine offsite then there's no way that MAC address is showing up on your end unless the app is carrying it as metadata or something.

He's begun to fixate on a system I can't positively identify that connects via SQL on a regular basis. I suspect it's the hosted web server, but I don't have to contact information for the hosting company, and the person with that information is currently in China with a spotty connection and hasn't replied to my emails. I have the name of the host, and the MAC address but not the IP address. Is there any way to find the IP based on the MAC, so I can say for sure "That's the Webhost?" ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
