Use Ethereal to snoop the network traffic coming in to your host with the (offending) MAC address... check the source IP field?

Try "arp -a [IP]" from a command line after pinging the IP address you want to RARP. Be aware that if the address is outside of your broadcast domain (subnet, usually divided at a router) you won't be able to do anything with ARP/RARP. The router handles all of that.

DHCP clients are basically RARP in a nutshell. Your machine knows the NIC's MAC address and requests the IP address for it.
