You can install nmap on your machine and get it to inquire about your network. Info about it can be found here.

This tool will tell you what nodes are on your network, their MAC address and what ports re open. If my network is 192.168.1.*, the command I would use is

nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24

which scans my network and reports on all nodes on it.

This: Retrieving IP and MAC addresses for a LAN[^] does rather more than you want - it retrieves the IP and MAC addresses, but you can use GetHostByAddress[^] to get the host name from the IP.
