What I end up doing is browing the hosts file on my gateway machine.
run "arp -an"
This didn't give very satisfactory results for my fbsd box e.g.
%arp -an ? (192.168.0.1) at 00:08:74:c0:5e:69 on ep0 [ethernet] ? (192.168.0.240) at 00:a0:cc:40:55:cf on ep0 [ethernet] %ping penguin PING penguin (192.168.0.160): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.0.160: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.536 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.160: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.691 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.160: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.673 ms ^C --- penguin ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.673/0.967/1.536/0.403 ms %arp -an ?

As you can see only the gateway and one other box (5 total on my lan) were cached. After pinging penguin it got into the cache but this looks like arp is unreliable for a canonical list of plugged in ip's.
Curious about what would work. Nmap(8) isn't installed on my system now, is this the way to go? Nothing in my base install to do it?
