How can I send a packet directly to the mac address to make sure that the mac address not already exist in the same subnetwork?

Thanks

MAC adresses are unique...

What do you want to do exactly?

arp-scan or arpscan

I prefer the options and output of arp-scan but either will do.

Do you have Dag added to your repository? http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/packages.php

I see arp-scan & arpscan in there.

Yes I use Fedora Core 5. I have them listed in the Dries rpm repository.

Although I don't understand WHY you'd want to change your mac address. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Hi,
thank you for the response, I looked up the web page and downloaded the arp-scan package for my linux. I just have some probs with the installation, it cannot find several lib6 files ... . But I think there is something wrong with my Fedora Distribution and the yum package.

regards

I just need to change the mac address temporary, to access a specific network, but before I do change I want to make sure that I do not interrupt any network services.
