How do you get mac address of people that on same network?

First, communicate somehow with the computer. For example, if you know the IP address, do a PING command.Then check the ARP cache. If you use Windows, type arp -a. This will show the translations between recently used IP addresses and their corresponding MAC addresses.Or just go to each computer and give the ipconfig /allcommand.First, communicate somehow with the computer.

Is the size of ARP packet fixed?

In theory, no, not necessarily, since ARP is flexible enough to be used to discover or describe a connection between other kinds of addresses, which don’t have to be the same lengths as IPv4 and Ethernet addresses.


What type of server does a window client use to resolve host names to IP addresses?

Strictly speaking, Windows clients will use a DNS server to resolve host names to IP addresses. In a Windows environment, the DNS server is almost always a Domain Controller as well (Active Directory Integrated DNS). Windows also has another naming system called NETBIOS. Clients will use a WINS server to resolve NETBIOS names (do not confuse with host names) to IP addresses. Short answer: DNS

If a device does not know its own IP address can it still use ARP?

No - in order to use ARP it would have to send a broadcast for information with a return address of itself. Since it doesn't have an IP address it cannot do that. Furthermore, without an IP address it couldn't participate on the network.
