    Perform ARP request via code

    I need a routine to get a MAC address for a given IP address.

    I don't want to use WMI as I don't want to depend on WMI being available on
    the remote machine, or desktop firewalls getting in the way. So would like
    to do this via the lowest most compatible level possible, i.e and ARP
    request.

    Could someone post some working VB code? I've seen examples of C# code using
    the SendARP API but I've not had any success in converting it to VB.Net.

    I'm using VB 2005 and .net 2.0

    Cheers

      Not sure if .NET has any classes to do that type of stuff - but it would be
      pretty easy to parse it from the command line ARP utility.
