i need to ping a machine is by its physical address.  can anyone help me on this?  i tired lots of ways but dont know yet. ( no IP address can be used.......just ping the physical address and confirm machine is connected to LAN).

Answer : How to ping physical address

If you have the mac address then it is easy to find out right ?

At command prompt do this;

arp -g

It should give you the mac address and ip pair.


Then do arp -d => it will delete all arp cache from your machine.

Then do ping .

If you get a reply then it is present on the LAN. To confirm the mac to ip binding just do arp -g again and see it. DONE!

Cheers,
