Had a routing issue the other day, and I was remotely trying to forward a port to a device. I didn’t know the MAC address of the device, and my Home Hub was insisting on that information for the forward destination. I knew the IP address, so there is a simple Windows command to get the MAC address from the IP address:
arp -a <ip_address>
I.e.
arp -a 192.168.1.70
Easy. This command works in Windows as well as Linux! Well theres a thing… It also works in Mac, but you drop the -a parameter:
arp 192.168.1.70
