How can I find the MAC address of a machine?

How to check for any device IP address on a network?

Can a MAC address be tracked using an IP address?
MAC addresses are included in the DHCP requests broadcast by your network or in the syslog information sent by the ISP provisioned router, and are included in the traffic being intercepted. Having an additional firewall and providing your own WiFi device is actually wise if you’re paranoid about your MAC address being logged / tracked.
How can I get an IP from a MAC address?
You can use ARP to obtain an IP from a known MAC address. But first, it is important to update your local ARP table in order to get information from all devices in the network. Send a ping (ICMP echo reply) to the entire LAN, to get all the MAC entries on the table. To ping the entire LAN, you can send a broadcast to your network.
