Here 'connected' is too vague.Is it just physical connection or something like tftp?. Possible ways a.Have arp tools like arpwatch. b.If the clients send request then dhcp log will have mac address c.Better may be what ettercap does. Ettercap (and many more) is tool for packetsniffing. It sends ARP ping or some such technique to get all mac address. However, how to link a particular mac with a machine should be very difficult unless you have only one machine.
