Is there a command that will translate nic to ip address, like nbtstat will give you the nic address if your enter the ipaddress

I seem to remember I already answered this question in another thread... try ipconfig /all which will give you both MAC and IP address. Also, look into ARP

Thanks Freak,
On a machine on a network and all you have is the mac address. I'll look into arp and rarp. Not on the local machine.

arp -a will show you your ARP cache. Ping the target IP, and run arp -a again, and you will see the MAC addy of the target box... hope this helps

I am not sure that I understand your question. Do you mean your MAC address and your IP address?

If so you can go with ipconfig /all (or ifconfig if you run linux) to get that info.

Also, ARP, or address resolution protocol, is used to translate between a known IP address and an unknown MAC address. I hope this helps

Looking for unknown ip address by known mac address that is not in the arp cache (never had network connection to the unknown ip). Also can look in dhcp, Just wondering if there is a command in the ip utilities.

Thanks Freak,

then RARP is probably what you need...
