Hi.
does anyone have any idea of how to find the mac address of a remote
networking device? I've worked with WMI and it works fine as long as the
target machine is a Windows computer, however, i want to return the MAC
address of ANY IP device on my network.
right now, i have a totally inefficient way to return a mac address, but
it's only by dropping to a command prompt and executing the ARP command (all
within code....it's not as ugly as it sounds).
executing ARP within a loop (range of IP's to scan) is not a practical
solution. Has anyone had success in finding info on how to do this?
thank you for your assistance.
