If you are on the same subnet, you can use the arp table on your local computer to assign the MAC address an IP address. I used this trick the other day on a W2K box to access the web interface of a new printer.
arp -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx zz-zz-zz-zz-zz-zz (xxx=ip and zz=mac, the -s = add to arp table) Since I had the mac address of the printer, I told my local box to think that the printer's mac address was set to a certain IP address. I was then able to scan that IP to find which ports where open. Since port 80 was open, I was able to get in via http and set the IP address to what I wanted. It might not get you the actual IP that host is set to but should get you 1) information about the host and 2) access via IP to that host.

The Gartner Group just put Neoteris in the top of its Magic Quadrant, while InStat has confirmed Neoteris as the leader in marketshare. Find out why, and see how you can get plug-n-play secure remote access in about an hour, with no client, server changes, or ongoing maintenance.
