ARP and RARP question
This is for the networking types (aren't all my questions?). The ARP command in Windows will resolve a MAC address from an IP address right? And there's also RARP, which is obviously the reverse (resolves an IP from a MAC address). Does anyone know the command for RARP, or is there even a command? It seems rather odd that there would be a command one way but not another.
My thoughts are, if you could get an IP once, you could use ARP to get the MAC and RARP to get the IP again at any time, right? This would be an interesting tool to use to find a dynamic IP address of a friend or something.
Sorry if the question is a stupid or simple one, and thanks in advance for anyone who tries to help.
