Subject: Getting the MAC address of a client
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 12:56:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021010175605.19028.qmail@mail.com> (raw)

Hello,
When my server application accepts a client socket connection, what is the easiest way to obtain the MAC address of the peer?  I tried listing the ARP table but I did not see an entry for the IP address and MAC address of the client.
I want to avoid having to ping the client to get the ARP table populated

Thanks
Lee
