    Or you can use this usefull portable tool for network inventory: 

    # nmap -sP 10.203.7.0/24

    Please adjust the options to feet your needs.

    If you know the host name, just use 'ping' utility
    again you said 'addresses' it means do you want to check the ip address of all the systems connected to your local LAN.?

    If you know where to look, the following will produce your IP address from the command prompt:

    ipconfig /all

    It will list the IP address of every connected interface on your system, and the MAC address (physical address) for every interface and tunnel (whether or not a connection is established). For established TCP/IP connections it should also display each gateway IP, the DNS server addresses, etc.

    Maranatha!
