nmap -T4 -A -v ipaddress
Will attempt (amongst others):
- to detect all the open ports
- to reveal the O/S
- to show the MAC address (and thereby the nic manufacturer)
- to return most nbstat queries including the machine name
I'm sure that will narrow down your search.

Hmm... good point. If eEye's scanner finds it and says it's "vulnerable"
that means it must be at least a Win2k box. Any suggestions on how to find
that machine?

Well, I have a sneaking suspicion it's a Windows 98 machine...
Ah, that's tough. Win 98 has almost nothing for remote management.
Wait a minute.
All the Conficker detectors I know of (which, admittedly, isn't
much) look for an unpatched RPC service, or for an RPC service which
has the signature of the Conficker-provided patch.
Win 9X doesn't *have* an RPC service, does it?
