   Ahha, you're after some already existing software to map MAC addresses to IP   
   addresses.   
      
   If you open a command box in XP and type 'arp -a' you get a list of MAC   
   addresses and their associated IP addresses. Is that what you want? you   
   could easily write a batch file to scan for a given MAC address or dump to a   
   file to search.   
      
   Mark.
