Also the arpwatch program might help if you are trying to track down mysterious devices popping up on your network.
+1 for arpwatch
You beat me to mentioning it. ;)

Perhaps a stupid idea: I didn't see where the OP indicated they did not know which physical machine this is, but I understood it to be unknown on the network.
So, if I"m right, just go to the machine and do ifconfig or similar.
Or if I'm wrong, just pretend I didn't say this! :)
You are assuming that this is a machine with a keyboard and monitor. The OP did not give us that information. I have several devices on my network without user interfaces, like a TV tuner. It has no input device -- I don't think it even has a power switch. I has three wires going in the back -- power, antenna, network. Exactly how am I going to ask it ifconfig? Even a router or firewall can be a mystery as to what IP address it will respond to.
Read carefully, and don't impose your network on the OP's situation.
