arp -a (In a windows nt based system cmd). As you see it shows my gateway only because the CAM/ARP table is being kept on the router. If you had a peer-to-peer network etc, your arp table would be larger.
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\User>arp -a
Interface: 192.168.0.33 --- 0x2
Internet Address Physical Address Type
192.168.0.1 00-16-b6-1c-92-ca dynamic
Use a tool to scan the local subnet and discover any hosts alive (or unprotected, computers running a software firewall will not respond to a regular ping). If arp doesn't show you the mac:
nbtstat -a <hostname or ip> (In a windows nt based system cmd)
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\User>nbtstat -a caboose
Nvidia nForce Networking Controller:

Voila, my file server "caboose" is revealed
