The lazy way from windows is something like this:
C:>ping 192.168.0.77
Pinging 192.168.0.77 with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 192.168.0.77:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
C:>arp -a
Interface: 192.168.0.100 --- 0x4
Internet Address Physical Address Type
192.168.0.77 00-14-22-22-3c-e7 dynamic
So according to the arp command, the mac address of mine is: 00:14:22:22:3c:37
So, in summary, just ping the device, then immediately type “arp -a”. That will show you your arp table which contains both ip and mac addresses for all the machines you’ve talked to on the network for the last 30 seconds or so.
