How to get the TRVR MAC address

The easiest way to get the MAC address of your TRVR is to look it up from the ARP cache on another machine. Here is how:

1. On a Windows machine open a command line window.
2. Ping the TRVR IP address. For example, if the IP address of your Total Recall is 192.168.3.111:

C:\\> ping 192.168.3.111
Pinging 192.168.3.111 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.3.111: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.3.111: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=64

Ping statistics for 192.168.3.111:
    Packets: Sent = 2, Received = 2, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 0ms, Maximum =  0ms, Average =  0ms
Control-C
C:\\>

3. Now lookup the MAC address in the APR cache of the machine. For example:

C:\\> arp -a 192.168.3.111

Interface: 192.168.3.219 on Interface 0x1000004
  Internet Address      Physical Address      Type
  192.168.3.111         00-18-4d-e9-cc-7c     dynamic

C:\\>

The MAC address of your TRVR is the “Physical Address” reported by the `arp` command.

You can do the same thing from a Linux machine. See the manual pages for `arp` for the correct command line parameters.
