If (and it is a big if) you are plugged into the same switch and/or in the same subnet, then a single ping followed by reading the output of arp might do the trick for you. As soon as you are going through the router, then you cannot find it from the 'client' end. You would need to connect to each server in turn and get the MAC directly.



I hope that this helps,
Robin
