If you want to see which IP addresses are in use on a specific subnet then there are several different IP Address managers   Try Angry IP Scanner or Solarwinds or Advanced IP Scanner

Try following steps    Type ipconfig  or ifconfig on Linux  at command prompt  This will give you the IP address of your own machine  For example  your machine s IP address is 192 168 1 6  So your broadcast IP address is 192 168 1 255  Ping your broadcast IP address ping 192 168 1 255  may require -b on Linux  Now type arp -a  You will get the list of all IP addresses on your segment

Install nmap   sudo apt-get install nmap   then  nmap -sP 192 168 1     or more commonly  nmap -sn 192 168 1 0 24   will scan the entire  1 to  254 range  This does a simple ping scan in the entire subnet to see which hosts are online
