Networking question; How to use MAC address to find out IP address.

Hi there,
I want to discover the IP address of an attached device (Netgear switch) on my network. I know it's MAC address – can I use this to get the IP address?
Thanks in advance

Short for Media Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. In IEEE 802 networks, the Data Link Control (DLC) layer of the OSI Reference Model is divided into two sublayers: the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control (MAC) layer. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network medium. Consequently, each different type of network medium requires a different MAC layer.
On networks that do not conform to the IEEE 802 standards but do conform to the OSI Reference Model, the node address is called the Data Link Control (DLC)
I have a feeling you might have the term MAC Address confused
Depending on the device you are using it may be that you can type in 192.168.1.1 and hit return key, and it will give you the Router Utility and this can give you the assigned IP Addresss to external devices, if the router is used.

    Hi,
    You cant usesearch statement, rather did you try with CS using IF condition? even you can go with loop statement too.
    DATA STRING TYPE STRING.
    DATA C TYPE C.
    DATA LEN TYPE I VALUE 0.
    DATA I TYPE I VALUE 0.
    LEN = STRLEN(STRING).
    LOOP LEN > I
         C = STRING+I.
         IF(C == '*' OR C == '_').
         ENDIF.
         I = I + 1.
    ENDLOOP.
    This way also you can use.
    Hope this may help you.
    Regards!

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
    http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

  • How to find out the address of a servlet without a Request

    Hi all,
    in a servlet, I need to find out its address before the first client request (the best would be in the init method).
    So I have no access to a HttpServletRequest object that normally offers this information.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    RayBen

    If you need to know the host name, then something says me that your code is already not portable :)
    No, it is not possible. Not without nasty stuff or lookups. Why do you need to know about it then? It sounds like if you want to set some host-specific settings. You can better use the init-param in web.xml or configuration files for this than hardwiring it in Java source code.

    Unfortuantely, you can only track the phone if you had set up iCloud and enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost or stolen.  I don't believe there is anything that Apple can do to locate your phone either.

    How to make preflight profile witch find out if exist in document spot color with name "CutContour", if not show allert,  I try many combinations but nothing works

    Thanks very much for your help, but I'm still overlooking something. I double checked to make sure that I did not have a hidden .txt file extention. I then decided to abandon the lock on preferences idea until I get it working. I converted my mozilla.cfg file back to plain text. I made sure I do not have an extra blank line at the end of each file. The syntax looks good, as far as I can tell. I'll copy and paste what I have so far. Did I have the file locations correct posted above? Also, if you feel i can delete some lines of text in my mozilla.cfg file I'll be happy to do so.

  • Network Question: How Do I See the Macs from the PC?

    I'm a PC-to-Mac switcher. I'm trying to move all my activites to the Mac platform, so at the moment I'm sort've one foot in each world.
    One problem I have encountered is transferring files from the PC to the Macs over my network.
    When I'm on the Mac, I can find the Windows MSHome Network fine, and can grab files that way. But sometimes I'm on the PC, and want to send files to the Mac. But I can't seem to find the Mac on the network from the PC.
    Is there someway to do that?
    Oh, and, why does the Mac create all these files with a dot in front of the filename. That I could do without... especially when they're just ".trashes"
    Thanks,
    --PS

    On the Macs, Ststem Preferences>Sharing>Services tab, enable Windows Sharing!
    Oh, and, why does the Mac create all these files with a dot in front of the filename. That I could do without... especially when they're just ".trashes"
    We do have a few silly things... can't be perfect!
    One kind of those dot files, (hidden on Macs), that you can stop...

  • How to use .mac/.me alias w/ iPhone mail?

    My primary mail client is Apple Mail, and I have a .mac/.me address with several aliases.  On my desktop it is easy to choose which alias I wish to appear in the "sent" field.  I can not find out how to do this, however, when sending mail from my iPhone.  Instead, the sent field always shows the primary "parent" email address.  Can this be changed?  Thank you.

    First and foremost, everything will work better if you can make a direct video connection from the mini to the display device. That's the smoothest path to a solution and what most people do to avoid the type of problem your setup is experiencing.
    Another option, if you really want to pass the video through the receiver, is to use a product like Gefen's DVI Detective to trick the mini into thinking it has a continuous connection to the display, even though it is being interrupted by a switch in the receiver.
    I'm pretty sure there is no terminal command to invoke "Detect Displays" but a clever fellow figured out a way to script the GUI command and assign it to a button on the keyboard, so you could try that and see if it works for you. Below is a link. You'll want to ignore the first part and skip straight to where the script is mentioned.
    http://www.123macmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17214&highlight=
    Maybe you could turn the script into a chron job. But doesn't the TV's input have to be tied to the mini's output through the receiver in order for the Detect Displays command to have the desired effect? If that is the case, I don't see how the chron job would help if the TV were set to receive input from another box through the receiver.
    I'm not sure about Front Row death, but it could be related to the mini losing track of the display owing to the switching that is going on. Maybe avoiding the switch will cure the Front Row problem. Good luck.
