March 5th, 2009 dinesh.k No comments

You may need mac address of all the machines in your network for the reasons like adding mac address in the filter table of your router,For your resource database..etc

In these situations its very time consuming to go to each and every computer, type ipconfig /all in command prompt,get the mac address and record them.

you can use free downloads available for this purpose.Give a try with my steps below if you know the ip of all computers.

From one of the computers in the network(Windows) ping all the other.Make sure you are able to ping all the computers in the network.

Go to command prompt use the command below for reference

ping 192.168.1.2

once you are done with pinging all the computers type the below command

arp -a

which will give a list mac address along with IP address of the machine

Now we have the required mac address .you can copy and save them to anywhere for your reference in future.
