    Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) FAQ

    Christian Ehlscheid offered this code on UniversalThread as a solution for obtaining physical address (MAC address) for a given ip address:

    ? IpToMacAddress("192.168.1.0")

    FUNCTION IpToMacAddress(lcIP)
            DECLARE INTEGER inet_addr IN ws2_32.dll STRING cIP
            DECLARE INTEGER SendARP IN iphlpapi.dll;
                    INTEGER destIP, INTEGER sourceIP,;
                    STRING @ pMacAddr, INTEGER @ PhyAddrLen
            LOCAL lnHr, lnIpAddr, lcMacAddr, lnLen
            lnIpAddr = inet_addr(lcIp)
            lcMacAddr = REPLICATE(CHR(0),6)
            lnLen = 6
            lnHr = SendARP(lnIpAddr,0,@lcMacAddr,@lnLen)
            RETURN BinaryToMac(lcMacAddr,lnLen)
    ENDFUNC

    FUNCTION BinaryToMac(lcMacAddr, lnLen)
            LOCAL lcMac, xj
            lcMac = ""
            FOR xj = 1 TO lnLen - 1
                    lcMac = lcMac + RIGHT(TRANSFORM(ASC(;
                            SUBSTR(lcMacAddr,xj,1)),"@0"),2) + ":"
            ENDFOR
            lcMac = lcMac + RIGHT(TRANSFORM(ASC(;
                    SUBSTR(lcMacAddr,lnLen,1)),"@0"),2)
            RETURN lcMac
    ENDFUNC


    The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol used by the Internet Protocol (IP) [RFC826], specifically IPv4, to map IP network addresses to the hardware addresses used by a data link protocol.
