224.0.0.1 is a special multicast address that requestes that all hosts on a network reply. And then with the arp -a you should see a list. You should actually be able to see the hosts as they reply so the arp -a is not 100% necessary. This may not work for PCs that have Windows XP firewall enabled.

Here's a sample of what you'd get.
Exactly what I was thinking about. You are the Geekmaster! Thanks.
