normally, we can't get MAC address of a remote computer(outside of the LAN),right?

This is true.  MAC Addressing is at Layer 2, and MAC addresses control how one packet gets to the next piece of hardware, the next hop.\n\nFor instance, when a router receives a packet, it determines the next hop based on it's IP lookup table for the destination IP.  It then writes the MAC address of the next hop into the packet's destination address, puts it's own MAC address in the packet's source address, and then submits the whole new packet out on the correct interface.\n\nOf course this implies Ethernet type network is used from source to destination, when many different network types could have been used on the way.

funny. You can't ping unless it has an IP address.\n\nPS: if your machine is to be the main one, then you really should not be on DHCP, or 'automatically obtain IP address'.\nyou should mannually enter the field data there, with the same info when on DHCP, except for the IP, choose an IP that is outside your DHCP server's range.  usually 101-150, or 50-100, I would pick in the single digits....but it's up to you.\n\nhope this helps !

on the remote computer....\nwhat do you want to configure? which connection? operating system?

If you're on linux using a bash shell, you could use nmap.\n\nIf you're on windows, download a network scanner and use that.

Changing the MAC address in W2K and XP \n\nMethod 1:\n\nThis is depending on the type of Network Interface Card (NIC) you have.  If you have a card that doesn’t support Clone MAC address, then you have to go to second method.\n\nGo to Start->Settings->Control Panel and double click on Network and Dial-up Connections. \n\nRight click on the NIC you want to change the MAC address and click on properties. \n\nUnder “General” tab, click on the “Configure” button \n\nClick on “Advanced” tab \n\nUnder “Property section”, you should see an item called “Network Address” or "Locally Administered Address", click on it. \n\nOn the right side, under “Value”, type in the New MAC address you want to assign to your NIC.  Usually this value is entered without the “-“ between the MAC address numbers. \n\nGoto command prompt and type in “ipconfig /all” or “net config rdr” to verify the changes.  If the changes are not materialized, then use the second method. \n\nIf successful, reboot your systems.\n\n\nMethod 2:\n\nThis method requires some knowledge on the Windows Registry.  If you are not familiar with Windows Registry, attempt at our risk, or consult with a technical person before you attempt on the following steps.  Also, make sure you have a good backup of your registry.\nhttp://www.nthelp.com/NT6/change_mac_w2k.htm

If you are on a LAN and u know the hostname,\nyou can type\n\nping  (hostname)\n\nYou'll get response as\n\nReply from <IP address>

Not sure about your particular printer or even if it is possible over lan. however - To find the IP of the printer simply go to the ip of your config of your router and you will be able to find the ip address. Concerening using ftp to connect. Erm is this really what it is. I spose it could be but its a bit odd. read the manual on the limitations of conecting over lan.

Aside from phsyically changing your network card or adding a new one, VMware will allow you to specify a MAC address.\n\nThis can potentially get you into alot of trouble!

The MAC address is the most basic address associated with the hardware (wether it is wireless or not).  It is usually hard coded in the adapter card although some can be changed.\n\nThis is not to be confused with the IP address which is speciffic to TCP/IP protocol and has nothing to do with the MAC address.

Was it connected to a router or directly to the modem?  Either way power cycle the units, modem or router, to release the MAC address from the APR table.  The unit may not be able to issue another IP address till this is cleared.  See if that helps.

If it's a firewire external drive AND the Mac and PC are part of a network then read Sharing a FireWire drive over a network.\nhttp://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sharefwdrive.html

I believe you are on an impossible task.  You can however, obtain the MAC address (Ethernet card) with the following command:   arp -a ipaddress\n\n-KOZ\nYES-Team Computer Repair \nComplete PC - Network - IT support \nQuality + Results equal Excellence \nwww.yes-team.com \nPhoenix, Arizona Computer Repair + USA Technical Support

You can do many things for this.  There are a lot of free/shareware/and programs for sale that do this exact thing.  otherwise you can DIY rather simply.  Go to start, run and type in cmd to get the command prompt (its also under all programs)  then type tracert (trace route) this will allow you to trace ever address that your network runs through basically by sending out a ping that bounces off the network addresses and returns the info.  You have to supply a target address for this to work properly.

Add details to your question. We need to know the make and model of the computer what version of mac os it's running and the wireless equipment (router, switch, etc).

each MAC address is unique to the NIC card used. That is the entire point. While you can tell some things such as manufacture from the MAC address, your question is essentially nonsense.

yes. just call your isp to configure the Mac for manual connection even you're using a wireless cable. sometimes that would ask for some IP address, that you need to provide for you to connect.
