How to get Mac address of a Windows machine?

[Lokesh]

Folks,
I have IP address of a Windows (95/98/NT/2K) machine. How do I get mac address
of the same machine. Any method is OK. Please, throw all the methods you
know
from your experience.

Hoping for an early response,
Lokesh

Hello

I have a method ..this will give u the host name when u supply the ip address.
eg suppoxe u give xxx.xx.x.xxx u get www.xxx.com

Use the code given below ... i have not enclosed error correction u can use
that ....

WORD wVersionRequested;
WSADATA wsaData;
wVersionRequested = MAKEWORD( 2, 2 );

WSAStartup( wVersionRequested, &wsaData );

long ad = inet_addr("xxx.xx.x.xxx" /*here u insert the ip add*/);

HOSTENT * host = gethostbyaddr((const char*)&ad , 4 , AF_INET );

cout << host->h_name << endl; // will give u the host name

I hope this works ..thanks
