Are you referring to the OUI codes that make up the first three octets
of a MAC address?  You can find those here:

If you're talking about trying to take an IP address and obtain its
MAC, it's only possible if the target is on the same logical network
you are (I.e., a non-routed segment).  In that case,

arp -a

in a shell will show you what you want.
