Any type of comms with the remote host will give you back a remote MAC address (icmp, tcp, udp, whatever). If grab the packets with your Winpcap app, you will get the MAC address of the source and the destination host for every packet.
Info on arp can be found in RFC 826 or just do a search on google. Each NIC you get has a unique MAC address, so you can't just use any address. Plenty of info on google or see your favorite book seller for lots of books on networking. --- Daniel Frimerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Do I get remote mac address through ARP?
