Most WiFi routers have a section where they show connected devices in
their configuration software, including Airport's . Wired devices are
easy to find. Pick up the ethernet cable and follow....
And if you have the MAC address you can use the first 3 number pairs
(prefix) to find the vendor of the Ethernet chip set. Apple computers
almost always come up as Apple being the vendor. Other brands are
harder to tell.
You can use either of these web pages to look up the MAC prefix.
