What do you mean? If you have a mac addr, how do you determine what the
machine name is?

nbtstat -A <IP ADDRESS>

will return the MAC of a remote computer (if it is running windows). the
first line in the result is the netbios name of the remote system.

loop through all your IP addresses, and you will eventually see which
machine has that mac.
