If it is a switched network, flood the IP in question after hours and look at the switches for the port with all the traffic. If there are no switches, then you will have to narrow it down to an individual hub and then look at that group of workstaions. I'm sure there is a more technical answer to this.

How can I find the physical location of a system if I know the following: NetBIOS name, IP address, MAC Address, and the Domain it is attached too. I have a system that is trying to become the Master Browser and I've discovered all of the above information. The problem is, it's a large flat network, so the IP address comes from a huge pool and doesn't help identify a network segment. The NetBIOS name isn't helpful and the vendor code in the MAC address is shared by almost all the systems. Any utilities that you know of that could help find this station? It's a city-wide school system and driving around from school to school isn't practical, although it is a rather small city... :-) Any info would be great. Thanks.
