[Solved] How could I convert from IP address to MAC address

Question

If server and client are on the same network, you will have to use ARP. This protocol is designed to get the MAC address to a given IP address.

As soon as there is something like a router between client and server, ARP will only reveal the MAC address of the router since this is the target for your ethernet packets.
