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 ?

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?
