You need to elaborate on what you mean by 'look' and 'network'. A network could be anything. Do you mean devices on the same subnet as yours? Probably on the same Ethernet cable?

There are scanners that can scan your subnet and spew out a list of IP addresses that respond to an ICMP echo (Ping).

You could take a look at 'nmap' too if you want to get additional information about these devices.

You might want to post that on: superuser.com StackOverflow is more geared toward programming, whereas superuser is more geared toward questions such as 'What commandline tool can I use to do xxx?'

There are two common tools, available for linux, windows and other platform.

1. nmap
2. snmp

For the second, you can try to send a snmpget to your local broadcast address, community public and oid SysName or SysDescr.
