How do I find remote MAC given an IPv6 address?   
Hi All,

Hopefully someone out there has seen this problem and can help me
out...

I have a remote machine's IPv6 address and I want to find out its MAC
address.  How would I do this?  I know that with IPv4, you could just
call SendARP.  One possible solution I've thought of is to send an ICMP
to the remote machine via Icmp6SendEcho2.  At this poing, the remote
IPv6 and MAC should be in my neighbor discovery cache - but how would I
get the information out of it?

Thanks to anyone that can help.

You can ask that additionally on
microsoft.public.platformsdk.networking.ipv6
