[ale] Find IP-address from MAC address

[Mark Wright]

I use nmap frequently to tell me what boxes I have on my network

nmap -sP 192.168.2.1-254

Will return a list off all the machines that are up on the specified  
network in that range.  Unless you have dozens of machines it ought  
to be easy to figure by elimination.
