You might run ``arp -an'' piped through grep. This should show the MAC
addresses of anything your machine's been talking to recently. This may
well not show systems where there's a switch which limits traffic by
essentially creating virtual paths between pairs of machines.
A CBE (Crude But Effective) way to get everything on your network in your
ARP tables would be to ping the broadcast address. Everybody should
respond (unless of course somebody's been smart enough to block broadcast
packets at routers).
