Windows batch script (cmd)

Simple windows batch script to get MAC phisical address from a hostname at local network. It can also get a MAC from an IP, but maybe you don't need this script to do so...

How it works?

• Call this script, for example get-MAC-from-hostname.bat then type target hostname/IP.
• You could also pass hostname when calling this script, like get-MAC-from-hostname.bat raspi, where "raspi" is target hostname.

What really does?

It simply does a ping to our hostname, then ask for arp table from that hostname/ip.
