MAC -> IP?

Does anyone know how I can find out the IP address corresponding to a
particular MAC address?

For some reason, a couple of hosts on my network are sending IPX broadcasts.
We don't use IPX, so this is a waste of space. (It's mainly Dells - they
seem to come with IPX and Netware services installed, so I'm currently in
the process of removing it.)

I got the MAC addresses of the hosts sending this stuff, and was able to
track down all but one of them... at the moment, there's just 1 host that's
sending IPX traffic, but I don't know what it is. And if I don't know what
it is, I can't shut it up ;-)

Anyone know a way to do this?

Hm, my method will be stupid, but I think it'll work - just ping all
machines
in your subnet, and then 'arp -a'.

Use a scanner to ping your subnet then type "arp -a" at a command prompt and
look for your MAC in the list. HTH.

go to start, then run, type CMD, hit enter, type
ipconfig /all, hit enter find label of ion, physical and
ip address will be in that catagory
 
Take a look at your address leases on your DHCP server, that is, if your
using DHCP.

Ah... hey, that should work!

(Quicker than pinging everything... and I already pinged all the stuff with
static IPs...)

Thanks!

Yeah... I already did that for everything with a static IP address. (Not
many hosts.) Oh well - this is gonna take a LOT of typing I guess! :-S

PS. They don't stay in the ARP cache very long, do they? :-/

Yeah, that's currently about the best idea I've got too... Ah well, time to
get typing! :-S
 
OK, so a number of people said ping everyone then use ARP -a... I just found
a way to ping everyone :-)

psloggedon.exe from PS-Tools, as found on www.sysinternals.com

OK, so that's what, the *FITH* time today that single website has saved my
life?! 8-D
 
By the way, a way to ping everyone that shows up in a NET VIEW command:

for /f "skip=3 delims=\ " %i in ('net view ^| find /v "The command"') do
ping %i
