"nmap" will also ping as well as return the DNS name of the computers it finds
I tried this on a fbsd box where nmap is installed and the results weren't thorough, explained to me that the arp cache wouldn't have every node in it if they weren't recently accessed. If that's not right then it's likely my misunderstanding.
"host <ip_address>" returns the DNS name "nmblookup -A <ip_address>" returns the Netbios name
Thanks this is what I'm looking for as I can awk one of these commands and get what I want this way.
