How to find the Mac address of a 'shutdown' system on local lan (is it possible?)
- by pirates-iiita
hello everyone,
Can anyone please tell the way to find out the mac address of a system which is:
Shutdown
Power plugged in
Connected to Lan
Nic card ON.
Kindly post the solution as i urgently need it in my project...
thank you
Update
I am asking how to find out the mac address of some other system which is already shutdown.... and which is on lan..
I want to find out its mac from my system.... and to be clear... i want to tell that.. arp table can be populated by using ping .. i.e. if 172.16.3.12 is not in arp table then it can be added by just ping 172.16.3.12 but a system can be pinged only if its on ... a shutdown system can't be pinged...
