Solution

  • 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.
