If you know any better ways, please feel free to share. It can be useful either when you want to enter the MAC address into a network analyzer or when you need to know what protocols are currently in use on each network adapter on a computer. It’s the command line that returns the MAC address with the list of network protocols associated with each address for all network adapters from either local or remote computer. It’s primarily designed to help troubleshoot NetBIOS name resolution problems but it does get the MAC address from the remote system as well. NBTSTAT is a Windows built-in diagnostic tool for NetBIOS over TCP/IP which mostly used in Windows system. Ping the remote computer to get the IP address and use ARP to retrieve the MAC address from that IP. Meaning, you must be at C:\> to get to this prompt, type the following command. If you are unsure where the file may be on the computer, you must be at the root directory of the computer. Let me show you 3 different ways to archive this. You can find any file on your computer using MS-DOS providing you know the name of the file or the program that created the file. ipconfig /all (to get the MAC address from a local computer) As we all know, we can use the command line IPConfig to get the MAC address of the network adapter installed on the local computer but to get the MAC address from a remote computer we need to use the different commands.
