Ah, on Windows. Tried netstat ? I'm not in front of a Windows box at the moment, and I can't recall if the output includes the MAC address info.

And note, arp is pretty much useless if it's not in the same subnet.

Cheers,

Luis.

From what I read, the arp command is supposed to get what I need but I can't make it work. I think that's because my server is a Mac. If I had a Windows-only network it might work but I don't know how to test it with my current setup. :(

I very much doubt that :-)
Whether the server is a Mac or a polka-dotted unicorn (??), if you can ping it, it pretty much has to have an arp association on the client machine :-)

after you do the ping, does the arp table on the server have an entry for the client ?

Well, I'm pinging from Parallels to the Mac, then doing the arp command on the Windows/Parallels side. It says there are no entries at all. I did use the -a flag. Sounds like maybe I'm doing it backwards? It's the only way I can do it, since Parallels is my only functioning Windows environment right now.


could you send the output of ipconfig on the windows client, and ifconfig on the Mac server. Thanks


I'll try to get that tomorrow, I really appreciate the help. I got so tired of running up against walls today that I just shut it all down and went off to play computer games. I'm such a wimp.
