I'm using TCPIP V. 5.3 Eco2 and have a question. For a program I need the following thing. I have the IP-address of a client and I'm now searching for the hardware / mac-address. Normally we use TCPIP show arp
Under windows I can use for this
nbtstat -A ip-address
Does I have something like this under VMS, too or does somebody know another way to find the hardware address when I only have the IP-address?
Regards,
Kirsten

Re: Hardware-address with IP-address
$ TCPIP netstat "-H"
doesn't work either (don't know for sure if it is supported under V5.3)?
regards Kalle

Re: Hardware-address with IP-address
I don't think there is any way to obtain the remote node's hardware address, if that node is not currently connected to the network and it's entries in the ARP cache have timed out.

Re: Hardware-address with IP-address
the problem is, that the client is connected to the network, I can ping the client, no problem. Under windows with nbtstat I receive the hardware address. But I don't know a way under VMS.

Solutionthen the client is most probably on another LAN and you are communicating to the client via a router. ARP only works on the local LAN. You would have to ask the router about the client's hardware address.
nbtstat may only show you the client's hardware address, IF any NetBIOS over TCP/IP connection is currently active.

Re: Hardware-address with IP-address
TCPIP netstat "-H" (or "netstat -H" after executing TCPIP$DEFINE_COMMANDS.COM) does work under TCPIP 5.3 as well.
But as said, it needs the address in the ARP tables.
Maybe a difference to Windoze is: the TCPIP services ARP cache interval seems to be shorter.
