        That's a really old trick. But you can only look up the maker of the NIC. It might be Intel for the MAC Address vendor, but it could be a Dell server.

          I prefer the PCI ID Repository for identifying hardware manufacturers of unknown devices in Windows. That's fewer and fewer nowadays since Windows 7 especially, but still useful.

              Dell doesnt manufacture NICs and generally you can determine the make fairly easily by looking at the branding of the box.

                    Nice find!
                    I remember doing this ages a go but had forgotten that it could be done.
                    Shows how often I've needed it 😛
