This is why I don't use DHCP..... You could cross-reference from arp
tables to MAC addresses. I don't know if your machine is win or linux;
on linux:
[yan@aphrodite yan]$ /sbin/arp
Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface
ophelia.cardinal.lan ether 00:A0:24:89:C7:9F
C eth0
hamlet.cardinal.lan ether 00:A0:24:89:C7:9F
C eth0
othello-er.cardinal.lan ppp 00:A0:24:89:C7:9F
CM tun3
othello-r.cardinal.lan ppp 00:A0:24:89:C7:9F
CM tun1
portia.cardinalengineer ether 00:60:68:80:34:9C
C eth1
oberon-r.cardinal.lan ppp 00:60:68:80:34:9C

A neat cross-refence between computer names (or ip addresses if you're
not running DNS) and MAC addresses. (Ignore the duplicates; the
machines above are "virtual" with no real hardware).
