All,

I need to know how to find an IP Address or hostname of a
system from a given MAC address. Preferiably using visual
basic. But dos commands would due. Does anyone know how to
do this?

TIA.

Might the arp command work for you?

arp -a

outputs:

Interface: 192.168.0.100 on Interface 0x1000003
Internet Address Physical Address Type
192.168.0.1 xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx dynamic

But it could be empty if the table is empty. It shows what that host
used when connecting to other hosts. Although I have another host on my
intranet, I haven't communicated with it so the arp table only shows me
(192.168.0.100) to my NAT router (198.168.0.1) through which I did a web
browse.

I believe what your looking for is a rarp tool. Reverse arp.

Google should provide what your loking for when searching on this.

I have a tool that will scan mac addresses and return the corresponding ip
if that's what you want?
