Does anyone know how to get the ARP table of a remote host? For example, there's a computer on my local network, and I would like to see it's ARP Cache entries.

I was told that I can use the "arp -a [ipaddress]" command to do this, but I don't think that guy knows what he's talking about. This only gives me the MAC address of the ipaddress AND only if it is currently on my table. Or do I not know what I'm talking about?

Thanx in advance
 
I think he just misunderstood what you were asking. If the machine is SNMP-capable you could use an SNMP get to grab that information. Otherwise, logging in yourself is the only option I can think of at the moment.
