We can find mac address (physical address) of a computer using the command ‘getmac‘. This can be used to get mac address for remote computers also. Below are few examples on how to use this command. It works on XP, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2003 and Server 2008 operating systems.

Get mac addresses from CMD

Local Server Mac Informer. Featured Local Server free downloads and reviews. Latest updates on everything Local Server Software related. If you have a multi-Mac setup, a caching server can help save time and money by taking a load off your Internet connection. And Internet Recovery software that local Mac and iOS devices download.

Just run the command getmac to get the mac addresses. Find an example below.

This command does not show mac addresses for the network connections which are disabled. You can run ncpa.cpl and check which NICs are disabled. Further, I have received comments that this command does not help identify the mac address for a specific device. For example, if I need to get the mac address for my WiFi card, output of getmac command is not helpful. We can use ipconfig command to deal with this.

Get mac address of a remote computer

• This can be used to get mac address for remote computers also. Below are few examples on how to use this command. It works on XP, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2003 and Server 2008 operating systems. Get mac addresses from CMD. Just run the command getmac to get the mac.
• On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Sharing. Your computer’s local hostname is displayed beneath the computer’s name at the top of Sharing preferences. The local network name is your computer’s name with.local added, and any spaces are replaced with hyphens (-).

We can retrieve the mac addressses for a remote computer using nbtstat command.
Example:

Alternatively, We can run the below command to retrieve the mac addresses of a remote computer.

remote_computer : Full name of the remote computer or IP address
username and password are of the account on the remote computer.

Example:

If you do not want to specify the password, you can skip /p parameter. You will be prompted to enter the password and the command execution will take place after that.

Errors:

Using getmac command we can retrieve the mac addresses of the machines running windows OS only. If you try this for a Linux machine you would get the error “The RPC server is unavailable.”

If you provide incorrect password, the command would fail with the error message “Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.”

Accessing Websites on a Local Network (LAN) Web Server

Posted: 2014-07-29 02:31:48

There are a number of different ways that local websites can be viewed from other computers (running Windows, Mac OS X, Linux) and mobile devices (iPads, iPhones, Android phones, etc), that are all connected within the same LAN (local network).

To get every LAN connected computer and mobile device to find and connect to a local website, you have these options:

Use the LAN IP of Server

Connect directly to the server via its LAN IP address, using that IP in the URL:
http://192.168.1.100/

For this to work, the LAN IP address must be assigned as one of the website’s Domain Aliases, and all redirects from Aliases to the Primary Domain Name must be turned off.

Downside – as only 1 IP address is assigned per NIC (network card), only 1 website can be accessed.

Use the LAN host-name of Server

Connect to the server via its LAN host-name (computer name), using that host-name in the URL:
http://computer-name/

For this to work, the LAN host-name must be assigned as one of the website’s Domain Aliases, and all redirects from Aliases to the Primary Domain Name must be turned off.

Downside – as only 1 host-name (computer name) is assigned per computer, only 1 website can be accessed. Also, there might be issues with some non-Windows devices, such as the iPad, which either don’t inter-operate (work with) WINS and NetBIOS or require further configuration.

Use a LAN-wide Hosts file Set Up

Connect to the server by using LAN-wide (global) Hosts files…

Local Server For Mac Os

This is done by editing every LAN systems’ Hosts file with entries that resolve each and every website’s domain-name and aliases to the LAN IP of the server:

This way all the other LAN systems know to which IP address to send the request to when the www.domain.name is used in the local Browser.

Downside – while this will work on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, this will not work on most mobile devices unless they are jail-broken / rooted (as you can’t edit their Hosts file).

Use Registered Domain Names

Connect via any website’s domain-name, as long as that domain-name is:

Local Server For Mac Free

• Registered (bought and paid for on Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc)
• And has a DNS “A” record set (resolved) to either the LAN IP of the server (ex: 192.168.1.100) or the Public IP of the Router (via the domain Registrar’s DNS servers).

* It’s perfectly valid to resolve a domain-name to a local LAN IP address.

If you only have 1 registered domain name, you can use its sub-domains to represent your different local websites, by using a wild-card (*) / catch-all DNS record. This way all *.domain.name requests, regardless of what they are, will always be resolved to your LAN IP or Public IP. And once that request reaches your web server, the web server will match the sub.domain.name to the proper website. The downside of this is that every website’s domain-name must use a common base (which can make the full address long).

Use a WiFi Router that’s capable of DNS Masquerading

Some Routers are supported by 3rd-party firmware such as the OpenWRT and DD-WRT (2) projects.

Both OpenWRT and DD-WRT are able to inject custom domain-name to IP address resolves via their own internal Hosts files and/or internal bundled DNS Masquerading software such as DNSmasq.

This is probably the best option as ALL WiFi connected computers (regardless of OS) and mobile devices (everything from iPads to Android phones) will be able to connect to each and every website… Without configuring anything or doing anything to those computers and devices.

Use Own DNS Servers

Local networks (that are behind a typical wifi Router) use outside DNS servers, which “resolve” (convert) domain names to IP addresses.

Typically, the Router gets the addresses of 2-4 DNS servers from your Internet Provider (via a protocol called DHCP), and acts as the middle-man, for domain name resolve requests, between the computers and devices within the LAN, and the external DNS servers.

These external DNS servers are unable to answer and resolve requests for your “virtual” (non-registered) domain names to your locally hosted websites and their LAN IPs.

You can however, via your Router settings, switch-over these DNS servers with your own local DNS server, which will be able to resolve all “virtual” (fake) domain names, and wildcards (ex: *.local), to the server’s LAN IP address.

There are several options for DNS Servers for Windows, and Linux.

Notes

On some mobile devices, you can set them to use an HTTP Proxy server, that will then custom-resolve the domain-name to the LAN IP address. This gets around the problem of not being able to edit the device’s Hosts file without jail-breaking or rooting it. But you’ll need one computer running the proxy server software. On Windows, you can use the Fiddler Proxy to set this up.

Mobile devices have to be connected to your WiFi to be able to access the server via the LAN IP address. Otherwise, you must use a registered domain-name that has a DNS record resolving the domain-name to the the Public IP of the Router (which then “port-forwards” from WAN:80 to LAN:80 of server).

LAN IPs are usually reassigned/changed after reboot or power-off of the LAN connected computers and devices and/or the Router. You’ll have to go into the Router’s configuration and settings, and make sure to manually assign the same LAN IP to the same LAN system (by assigning that LAN IP to the server’s MAC address).

How To Use Servers Mac

When a request comes in to the web-server for a domain-name or IP address that is not assigned to any website, the first Apache Virtual Host (DefaultWebsite, localhost) gets returned.

When accessing the server directly via an IP address, you’ll only be able to access 1 website (the website that has that IP assigned as a Domain Alias)… Unless you run each website on a separate port number (8080, 8081, etc). *Some Apache configurations/setups and some PHP web-app scripts might not work correctly, as they expect regular port 80 access.

While most mobile devices (including iOS and Android devices) have a Hosts file, those devices have to be jail-broken/rooted, and/or you have to go through complicated steps to modify their Hosts file. * If you edit the Hosts file, make sure you save it in it’s original encoding: ANSI.

Running your own DNS server is not recommended as it could be complicated to set up and operate, and the system it’s on has to always be On for everything else to work. If you do run your own DNS, you’ll need to set it’s LAN IP in the Router’s settings and make sure no other DNS servers are used (by the Router). DNSMasq is the recommended choice.

You can host multiple websites under 1 main domain-name/website by treating the other websites as folders: C:WampDeveloperWebsitesmain.domain.namewebrootother.domain

How do I modify my hosts file?

Mac Os Servers

* Make sure to turn off any redirects of the Domain Aliases to the Primary Domain Name (*select website in WampDeveloper’s Websites Tab, click Settings; or just create a website with the LAN host-name as the Primary Domain Name, and the LAN IP as one of the Domain Aliases).

* Make sure to open (on the web-server) the Windows Firewall inbound port 80 (http) and 443 (https) connections (TCP and UDP). Windows Firewall will block these by default.

Local Server For Mac

* If you are resolving domain-names to the Public IP (of the Router), make sure to update the Router’s settings to “port forward” incoming port 80 (http) and 443 (https) requests to the proper LAN IP of the web-server.
