[wplug] RARP

I have a quick networking question. I'm sniffing the network and seeing
a lot of communication where the sniffer program is listing the source
and destination machines by their MAC address. How do I go about
translating the MAC address to an IP? I looked into RARP but I don't see
any way to just query. FYI, the sniffer program is on a windows machine
so please no answers about which settings to check in Ethereal to
automate this process. I do however have a linux machine on which I'll
be able to issue the RARP (or whichever) command and manually give it
the MAC address.

Thanks.
