RE: Ping a mac address

If you have a Cisco.com login you can download their free IP Setup Utility (IPSU) that allows you to enter a MAC 
address and it essentially pings that MAC and returns an IP address. If this is on a LAN I would also recommend using 
your DHCP server and finding its IP by looking for the MAC in your client lease list.

HI All

I am looking for a tool that can ping mac address

The only tool that I found is arping from 
http://freshmeat.net/projects/arping/

The only problem is that it can't ping windows machine and is working 
only for

machines which answer broadcast pings.

Is there anything like that or am I searching for something that 
doesn't exist.

Thanx In Advance For All The Help
