You can only get the MAC address of another machine if it is on the same network segment as yours, ie if it is on your LAN and if you dont have to pass through a gateway to get to it. That said, if it is in your network segment, just ping it and look up the arp entry by running the 'arp' program(again, if it is not on your segment, you will see an ARP entry for your nearest gateway).
