I want to verify that the Ethernet port on my UUT works.
My plan was to ping the UUT and verify that I got a response. However, the UUTs will come to test with an IP that I cannot use on the network. [Please don't ask me to explain why -- the IT group has their rules, and rules are rules after all . . . ]
I can query the UUT (via the serial port) for it's MAC address. But I cannot find any LabView VIs, or DOS executables which use the MAC address as a parameter to invoke a response from the device.
Does anybody have an idea of how I can verify the UUT Ethernet port without having to divorce myself from the company network and set up my own private network? [Oh and by the way, before somebody suggests it, the IT group won't let me put a 2nd network card in my PC -- rules are rules after all . . . .]
