    I have a question, is there any program or command that will find the IP address of a computer on the network after entering the MAC address of its network card.

    hmm, nothing specific comes to my mind at the moment, but there is a method that can be checked "on foot", if the network is small, you can use the appropriate program to ping all computers in turn and then enter arp -a -> show ip of computers and their mac, then you can manually try by. mac what is the ip

    Hello !!

    I used to use a program called "Cain and Abel" or something like that and I think it was there ... I don't know because I don't currently have it...
    Check here: www.oxid.it maybe there will be something you are interested in

    As for checking on foot, it's rather out, I've already tried but I'm too impatient

    In xp you can get it by typing ipconfig/all in run

    arp

    It is on both Windows and Unix.

    Windows doesn't have it, unix doesn't have it by default
    system.
    Besides, if the user is connected to a managed switch, it's arping
    It will not work.

    Windows doesn't have - is it my fault? :)
    I don't know what a managed swich has to do with arping

    I have a similar problem, but none of the above suggestions work, neither recommended programs nor arp, the physical address is constant, but unfortunately the IP address in the case of the type that scanned me is probably variable because it cannot be determined (at least I can't)

    here is the address 00-30-4F-30-96-E1

    can someone decipher it, if I find the IP, maybe I will find the type faster.
    Thanks

    Managed switches are blocked from showing addresses by default
    MAC of connected users. It will show your [swicha] MAC address which
    mediates in communication between users.

    What is this nonsense?
    None of the switches have anything like this by default.
    On managed switches, at most, VLANs or MAC blocking on specific ports can be set.
    With a switch, none of its MAC is involved in the transmission, it is only for managing the switch.

    The router will give you your MAC.

    The easiest way to read it is from the ARP of the router or server through which the traffic to the world passes.

    You can also use any sniffer such as ethereal www.ethereal.com and connect the old hub along the signal path and at the same time log packets with another computer and then look for packets with a suspicious poppy. Of course, the client must be active on the network at this time.

    I'm resurrecting the topic but maybe someone will find it useful

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around methods to find an IP address from a MAC address on a network. Various tools and commands are suggested, including using the command "arp -a" after pinging devices, and programs like "Cain and Abel," "WinSuperKit," and "R3x." Users also mention using "ipconfig/all" on Windows and "arping" in Unix systems. The limitations of managed switches in revealing MAC addresses are highlighted, along with the suggestion to use packet sniffers like Ethereal for monitoring network traffic. Advanced IP Scanner is also mentioned as a useful tool for this purpose.
