That won't fly, because the "request an address from a DHCP server" function in the Barco is disabled: it has a static address, subnet mask and gateway configured. So the DHCP server in the router has never interacted with the projector at all, and thus there won't be any entry in its log. I don't want to enable that, because if the projector relies on DHCP, then if the router goes out, the connection between the server and projector will be lost, and the show will break down. With DHCP disabled and the addressing entirely static on both the projector and server, they communicate with each other directly through the network switch (to which the router is also connected), without having to go through the router at all.
However, I don't want the router's DHCP server allocating the address that has been configured within the projector as a static one as a dynamic address when someone comes along and connects their laptop, cellphone, or whatever; hence wanting to reserve that IP for that Mac address.
Anyways, I've just cracked it, thanks to a suggestion from a co-worker. Using a command line window on a Windows PC running on the same network, ping the target device, and then enter the command "arp -a": that will list the MAC addresses of all the devices it has communicated with on the local network.
