If you're in the same lan than the mac adress you need, you can always ask you arp table to tell you what is the ip adresse.
ARP table is used for this kind on translations

Hi Jeff,

If you Want to get an Ip Address of a Particualr machine in the same lan go to command prompt and type IPconfig.

If you want to get the Ip address of the remote machine let me know and i will send you the details.

Hope this helps.

Answer 1 is right, even though not complete in his/her answer. Answer 2 will only allow you to view the IP address of the computer on whose keyboard you type the command.

To find out which IP belongs to which physical (MAC) address, type [ ARP -a mac_address ] to view the IP address associated with the physical address given or [ ARP -a IP_address ] to view the physical address associated with the IP address given.
