You can't unless you have access to the end network.

You can read mac address by pinging the machine ie ping 10.1.5.1
and then run arp -a

there should be something like this

Interface: 10.1.5.xx --- 0xxxxxx
  Internet Address      Physical Address      Type
  10.1.5.1              xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx     dynamic

my C++ application ?
