I've tried googling for this, but I guess I don't know the name of a

What I'm looking for is a utility that can scan a LAN for attached
clients... i.e., computers that are attached to the LAN.
I have one box (an appliance that I have no access to), that is on
the LAN but I don't know what IP address it's using. I'd like to
complete my network map, and that is the one empty box on my chart.
security/nmap
If the box pings, you can simply scan your LAN like:
$ nmap -sP 192.168.2.0/24
Starting Nmap 4.76 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-03-23 11:05 AKDT
<hosts snipped>
Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (18 hosts up) scanned in 1.11 seconds
There's tons of options available (including OS fingerprinting),
most of which
will require root to run as it needs on-the-fly changes to IP packets.
That did it. Beautiful. Thanks.
