MAC Address 2

[aditrusj]

Is there a way to find out the Netbios name of a workstation via the MAC Address? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a utility which does exactly that.

ne \macadr

and it returns the netbios info from the nic.

I have used it at work for years. If you can't find it let me know & I will post it.

yes
1) ping the computer using its name.
2) use "arp -a" it will display a table with IP, MAC Address and type
3) Use "nbtstat -C" and and a table with ip with Netbios name and ip, will be displayed.
4) Associate the IP address on netbios table with ip addres in the arp table.

althow the steps 3 and 4 may be change with "ping -a IP_ADDRESS". It will resolve the netbios name by IP.

The firts Step is essencial, to put associate the MAC Address with the Ip, if you don´t do this, the ip and MAC address will not appear

Hi again folks. For Wayne, I've tried the ne \macaddress and, forgive me, but I don't think I could run that. Could you please tell me more about this utility and how I could run it. Thx.
