        In some circumstances:

        - if you have administrative control over the different network
        to which the remote machine is connected;

        - if the the remote machine is running a protocol that would
        include the MAC address in the packet data (I'm aware of
        protocols - IPSec, NBNS - that include the remote IP in some
        way, but none that include the MAC).

        Both circumstances are unlikely.
