If your "local LAN" is in a single broadcast domain (i.e., non routed), then the arp table on your computer can be populated by using a simple shell script to ping all hosts on your subnet. Alternately, you can ping the broadcast address of your subnet -- though this doesn't always get a full arp table population. After that, 'arp -n' will display all of the active IPs and their MAC addresses.
