    Find machine by MAC address

    I've had good luck finding remote machines on my network using nbtstat -A (ip address)...does anyone know of a command line or app that will find a remote machines ip address using it's MAC address?

    ARP -A will give you the physical (MAC) address for any machine your PC has been in contact with.

    Using a port scanner could cut down on time if you have have a large number of NICs to scan at one sitting.

    Abel & Cain can give you a list of all MAC/IP addresses (and names if they resolve) in your network... just find the one you want in the list.
