I am in urgent need of a procedure or function to return the MAC/ethernet address of a remote system using just it's IP or netbios name (either/or, both not necessary). I already have a working procedure I tweaked to get the IP (as a string) from the Netbios name, but sockets programming is beyond me. I've gotten as far as knowing there's a way to use getsockname function (from the winsock unit) but that's just one tiny piece of a whole process of creating a socket, establishing some sort of communication, closing the socket, etc... can someone just show me a working example I can use to get through this crisis and then I can study it later to learn from it? Thanks in advance
