Obtain an IP from MAC add?

Hi,

 My ISP change my cable modem IP address on a regular basis. I was wondering if its possible to do some sort of nslookup on a MAC address to obtain an IP address.

 This way I wouldn't have to continually send out an emails with my IP to friends who want to use my ftp server. I'm hoping I can just give them the MAC address and then they can find IP themselves from there.

Cheers

Dan
